I will explore different meal plan techniques and choose one that works for my household.

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

In addition to using up my edible food, I will separate and compost my food scraps using backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

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.

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

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 set structure around mealtimes, serve right-sized portions and allow my kids to follow their hunger cues.

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

I will track the food that my household of 3 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.
