Food Waste Friday

Sliced Jicama...  I bought the smallest one I could find for a specific recipe, but still had tons left over.  Next time, I have to find what else to do with it before I buy it.  Any ideas?

Food Waste Friday

Didn't get around to taking pictures, but food waste this week was a quarter bag of green beans that somehow got shoved to the back of the produce drawer, and two bottles of breast milk that I forgot to label with dates, and thus was of unknown vintage...

Oh well, not terrible all things considered.

Menu Plan and Food Waste for last week

Doing food waste Friday didn't work for me since I didn't clean out the fridge until this morning... the report is as follows:

• 1/4 container of black bean soup (didn't like it that much and it has now been open for 4 weeks - better waste than get sick me thinks)
• Hubby's leftover pho from a restaurant (2 weeks old, and I think it has seafood...)

Menu for this week:

Monday:
Kale with bacon and beans
Butternut squash and apple salad

Tuesday:
Leftover cacciatore with mashed potatoes
Butternut squash and apple salad

Wednesday:
Chicken stirfry

Thursday:
Salmon burger on roll with sliced tomato and cooked veggies(likely roasted squash)
Butternut squash and apple salad (if there's still leftovers)

Friday:
Burgers or meatloaf (depends on my energy level)

Breakfast: Oatmeal, or eggs on toast, or peanut butter and bananas on toast or some similar variation
Lunch: leftovers from previous night's dinner or soup
Snacks: Crackers and cheese, fruit, yogurt
