Food Waste Challenge - Shopping your own pantry!

It's time to ramp up the challenge and get creative!  By now you should have taken stock of your fridge and pantry and analyzed your food habits.  If you can find a pattern to your waste you can begin to change your habits.  Maybe you buy too much produce every week and it goes to waste or your week of cooking at home has turned into eating on the run.  Whatever happens to be your particular challenge try and address it by shopping more often, freezing meat items when the week turns crazy or buy less.

Getting creative is what we are going to do over the next week.  Shop the food in your pantry and fridge and come up with recipes using what you have on hand.  The surprising benefit of this little exercise is that it will actually get you out of your cooking rut. Search for new recipes using the items you currently have on hand by item type in a search engine like www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com or the food network. 

Remember the average family will save $2,500.00 annually by cutting down on food waste! Just think of what you can do with that money!  Get Creative!  Send me a picture of your brilliance on my Facebook page and gear up for the next challenge when we tap into your "Grilliance" in Challenge number 2.
Remember #wasteless  Live it, Love it, Share it and of course...Grill It!
