I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 2 preservation techniques.

I will set a timer to keep me on track with kitchen tasks and cooking and baking times so that I don't ruin 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 6 avocados.

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 set aside time to prepare meals in advance.
