Jesse Hilary

I will involve my 1 children in meal planning, prepping and cooking activities.

I will have a discussion with my 1 children about the importance of not wasting food.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 3.

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 plan a meal to use up leftovers by creating a tasty smorgasbord or using a recipe that repurposes them.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

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 check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.
