Nancy's actions
Cooking
Taste Test Trial
When I try a new food or recipe, I will only make a small amount first to make sure my household likes it.
Shopping
Eat what I already have in my cupboards
Make sure I don't overbuy and eat what is in my cupboard
Planning
Plan a Leftovers Day
I will plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.
Cooking
Swap This for That
If I am missing an ingredient for a recipe I will find a substitute I have on hand and use that instead.
Storage
Properly Store Berries
To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 2 packs of berries.
