Accidental Homesteader

All right, I already said that I’m recommitting to good habits. Two are cooking more and wasting less. To that end, I was deliberate in my grocery shopping today, and will be keeping tabs on whether I follow through.

We planned our meals for the week.

• Mahi Mahi with mango salsa over quinoa
• Beef stew
• Grilled chicken with vegetables and salad
• Pork Street tacos with calabacita
• Pasta and marinara

There’s a leftovers in there, and we generally go out to eat on Friday nights and go to MakeICT. I have a neurological ophthalmologist appointment in KC on Friday, so he’s on his own. I’m working 4/10s so I don’t have to take PTO to miss on Friday. So he’s on tap for a couple of these.

I bought:

• 2 lbs of carrots
• Bell Peppers
• 1 Cucumber
• 1 Zucchini
• 1 Squash
• 3 lbs of onions
• A head of garlic
• 1 sweet potato
• 1 lb of Brussel Sprouts
• 1 head of red cabbage
• 1 head of romaine
• 3 bananas
• 1 mango
• Pineapple

Produce I had:

• Salad Mix
• Peppers
• Onions
• Celery
• Radishes

My goal is to use all of it before it goes bad.
