Saint Anthony Village

I tend to hide the vegetables in my soups; herb stalks and carrot and celery tops add savory flavor and blend in with all the other seasonings.

Switching to a smaller cart helps me stick to my list and avoid buying things I don't have a plan to use.

I switched to storing foods in wide-mouth pint and quart jars. So easy to see what I have, and writing dates on the lids helps me remember which are oldest and need to be eaten first. Added bonus, they are microwaveable, and they cleanup great in the dishwasher, no more plastic containers that have to be washed by hand, and no more...

I found these hard plastic storage containers for onion and peppers and they work great for keeping things fresh and smells out of the fridge.

I made salsa with my garden tomatoes, peppers, and onions. I use Penzey's salsa/pico spice. So fresh and yummy!

I started using a cloth bag to store my broccoli in and it helps preserve it for a lot longer, the cloth absorbs moistures that develop in the food drawer and keep the stalks firm inside.

I made raspberry syrup for the first time. Delicious on pancakes!

Strawberry, Raspberry, Beets, Tomato

I've noticed when we buy snacks/food from costco, we get sick of it before we finish the bag/pack. then we feel guilty about it and keep it in the fridge for months... im going to try to give away the things we dont eat as soon as we get sick of them instead of guily-keep things.

I almost always get green beans, tomatoes, and alliums. The alliums last for months, and the taste is so much richer! nummy nummy
