Food Waste Friday

Another week has come and gone and it is time to clean out the bad food once again. Last week I did really well, not so much this week though. I had to throw out some old hot dogs that had been stuffed in one of my bottom shelves and forgotten about. The package was about half way full, and each one was covered in slim. It was so gross. I also lost a forgotten onion. It to had went the way of the slim. I said goodbye to some salad dressing and egg whites that had well reached there expiration date.

I have to admit I am a little worried about next week. It seems that everyone in my house wanted different types of fruit when we went shopping, so now I have strawberries, grapes, blueberries, oranges, and apples and I just don't know if they will get eaten before then go bad. I plan on using some of them in nightly meals, like last night I made Mexican Stuffed Veggie Peppers and we have Mexican Fruit Salad on the side. We also baked a Peach Pie, which proved to be very good. With some luck and planning I should be able to save and use all of the fruit.
