Food Challenge - Real Mum story on MoM

8 Comments

We are on food challenge to clean out the fridge, freezer and pantry of all food and we are not going buying any more groceries until we have used our current supply of food. We are on this challenge because way too much food gets wasted, even though we are very good about only buying what we need and using it wisely. The fun part of the challenge is coming up with interesting and odd ingredient combination. I will post some of these recipes once we have taste tested all of them! Already we have discovered new favourites. What interesting and quirky recipes have other Mums come up when using supplies?

What a fantastic challenge. I should do it too. In the freezer in particular, where I easily forget there is food! Please post some recipes when you have tried them.

I do this every six or twelve months to make sure we don’t waste things.
