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 download and use an app that helps me track and manage my food.

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

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 aside time to prepare meals in advance.

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

I will rescue limp produce like leafy greens or carrots by soaking them in cold water or using them in recipes where appearance doesn't matter.

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.
