Weekly Meal Planning
I will reduce food waste, excess carbon and save money by planning my daily and weekly menus so that I only purchase the ingredients needed.

I will replace 30 minute(s) per day typically spent inside and often with electronics with quality time outside walking, exercising, enjoying the sunrise/sunset, gardening, journaling, observing nature, or practicing gratitude for nature.

So far, we’ve made pasta sauce (https://www.simpleitaly.com/abruzzo-green-tomato-pasta/) and vegetarian-modified chili (https://www.farmfreshfeasts.com/2017/08/chorizo-and-green-tomato-chili.html?m=1)-
