Crazy Food Week

Day 15 of 100
Every few months, we have a week of crazy mixed up meals. I do this because the pantry and fridge have a funny way of getting filled up. Food gets lost in the back, wasted and unused. So every couple of months, do an inventory of what you have on hand before you do your weekly shopping. Use up what you have as much as possible and see how little you can buy at the store that week. Yes, your meals may be a bit odd and not as nutritionally balanced; however, a week won't hurt anyone. Your kids will think it is funny when you combine unusual items. Use up all the cans/boxes/mixes that keep getting pushed to the back. Make it a goal to free up much of the space in these areas. If while eating this excess, you discover something that wasn't that good, no one really enjoyed it or wasn't good for you in the first place, make a commitment, not to buy it again. Any items that you know will not be consumed give to a local food bank.

p.s. At the end of the week, take a few minutes to wipe down your pantry shelves and clean you refrigerator. It will be easier because it will be decluttered!
