These pictures were taken just before our last weekly grocery run. Not a whole lot left on the shelves, but actually there are a few meals that I could squeeze out of what's left. :) Burrito bowl was one that didn't get made last week...so goes on this week's menu...and pancakes too.
Each month I try to do a deep clean of the kitchen. This month as I went through the cabinets, I took a pondering look at each item before replacing it on the shelf. Half a bag of coconut left over from our favorite birthday cake became macaroons. The last can of pumpkin combined with the last of the cornmeal and some of last summer's frozen blueberries became a not so sweet cake. Some other bits and pieces got used up too + it made me happy to clear those spaces, but also to eat + serve some different treats.

Eating to almost zero makes it easy to wipe out the fridge, before a restock...and ensures that there is no food waste as well. I know this is not everyone's preference, but it works for us. :)
