A little bit deeper cleaning of the kitchen is on my calendar for the first week of every month. The shelves get dusted, the fridge + microwave get cleaned + all of the surfaces get a little extra attention. As every jar, can + bottle gets pulled out, I take note of what needs to be used up. Sometimes those forgotten bits are treasures...today I found a lonely Christmas chocolate! :)
Having this chore scheduled helps me stay on top of using up what I have...even the more obscure ingredients. I try to only buy things that I know I will use up, but occasionally I end up with things that require a bit more intentional thought + action.
It can be inspiring to think through ways to use up those bits + pieces. Creativity often leads me away from my regular makes. Today, I made an apple cake substituting a few of my found bits into the recipe.

After today's cleaning, I knew just what cup of tea to drink this afternoon...using up the last of that matcha. Tomorrow I'll use up that chai. Drink it up...eat it up...zero-waste. :)
