Way More Work Then I Considered

I have come down with a small cold rendering me pretty much useless. Yesterday, I ordered delivery. I was going to today as well, but I stopped. I am only a little sick and I have a year of not ordering delivery so now is a good enough time to start getting use to things. So I picked up my CSA and made a skillet meal with cabbage, leeks, sausage, and brown rice. Paired this with some homemade pickles and an apple.

I am a little concerned that this year is going to be a little more difficult then I thought 🤣🤣🤣

    When you're sick you just do not want to do anything. I totally get it. :)

Week 5

Man this year is going quickly! Before you know it, it will be time to plant some seeds and asparagus and rhubarb is just around the corner. Not a whole lot to report on. Lots of cooking, lots of washing dishes, and  surprisingly lots of fails. Waste: In the last two weeks I have wasted the apple scrap vinegar because of mold, a jar of beef stew from the freezer because it smelled and tasted off, a small handful of lettuce leaves, about 2 cups of roasted vegetables that I forgot about, a couple slices of bread in the freezer that were freezer burnt, and about a half a head of cabbage that went bad. I will say this is still less then what I have wasted before, but still a little disappointing.  Spending: I have spent $60.31 this month so far. This includes my milk share for the month, 2 liters of olive oil, 2 pounds of honey, and 1/3 of a pound of cheddar cheese. This is a little expensive and maybe not so affordable. Hard cheeses in general are super pricey and so ...

Week 2 in the Books

So I am still sick. Man this stuff is going around pretty bad. It has made it a little bit more challenging. Mainly because even though I had food prepared all I wanted was junk food. So what did I do? I ate all the convenience food and the prepared food got frozen. I couldn't imagine what it be like to have kids and take care of them too. Hats off to all the moms out there. Waste this week: I had to throw away some celery root and jam I had in the fridge. That was 11 oz of food. I also had to through away 5 sweet potato latkes. They tasted bad. So I don't think sweet potatoe latkes are the way to go. Spending: Nothing extra spent Weight: since I ate like it was my job and I was a total rockstar at it.... I am not weighing in this week. Sometimes ya just gotta be nice to yourself

Week One Done

So I am one full week through my year of no grocery stores! It has not been bad so far, but I don't think the tough parts have happened yet. I am slowly starting to tell more people about this and I get strange looks, but mostly support. Part of this challenge is that I cannot go to a restaurant, coffee shop (unless work related), or get take out by myself; I can go if someone invites me out because I don't want to lose social interaction. A very sweet person I work with wants to go out to lunch and told me he would pay because that wouldn't break my rules right? What a kind offer! Working in a kitchen we don't make a lot of money so anytime a person offers something like that it makes my heart smile. I explained that I can pay as long as I am invited somewhere. Another part of this challenge is reducing my waste. Why is this important? Studies suggest that Americans waste 1 pound of food per day. So far I have wasted 3 radishes that were gross in the middle and...
