I will download and use an app that helps me track and manage my food.

I will allow green, unripe avocados to ripen on the counter then transfer them to the refrigerator. Once cut, I will keep the pit in and rub the avocado with lemon or oil to reduce browning. I will properly store 2 avocados.

I will share information about saving food and the actions that I am taking on social media.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 2 meals.

I will visit a local pizza farm, teaching farm, or CSA grower to educate myself and my children on farm-to-table concepts.

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.
