Family Balance Sheet

DECEMBER 14, 2018

I cut them both up and served as a side for 3 nights of dinners and 3 school lunches for each daughter. I batch cooked 4 bone-in chicken breasts in the slow cooker and used some of the chicken and the stock that the chicken made during the cooking. My family was not thrilled, but we need to reduce our food waste.

My daughter lives in California and we talk regularly. Searching for information on food waste led me here. Being between houses and living in hotels mostly, it’s hard to cook. I’m not much of a cook even when I have a house. I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4.

Consistently using things you already have not only saves money but also prevents food waste. Throwing food away is throwing money away ! It feels too restrictive and takes away from the joy of cooking. Some days, I just want to cook what I want to cook, you feel me? Batch cook. Have a plan.

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste. I was baking some brownies for a friend and remembered that her daughter was vegan, so I wanted to adapt my sugar free recipe to use flax eggs instead.
