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 1 avocados.

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

I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.
