Food Storage Friday 02-03-2012

Friday already, this week has been flying by and yet nothing much seems to be getting done, other the regular basic’s, I did get out for a wonderful pot-luck lunch out for girls afternoon off the farm.

Given that this the start of my $10 dollar a week feb challange food challange, I guess, I had better share what I currently have in the house that is fresh. I figure I will in the overview combine the first couple days of the month with the last couple days of the week to make it a 4 week in total.. hope that makes sense. 

I currently have 8 apples left in a 3 pds bag of ontario apples, one bag of 3pd ontario regular yellow onions plus 1, 5 large  Ontario carrots left in their 3 pds bag, 1 full head of Ontario cabbage and 1/4 of one left, 3 oranges, 2 large locally produced mushrooms an 3/4 of a large turnip.

That’s it, everything else is coming from the pantry, freezers or the farm itself, which is very limiting given that we are in the deep freeze of winter.  Point in fact, the only things availlable to me from the farm right now is sheep milk, Chicken eggs(its possable that the duck hens might? start laying before the end of the month) and fresh meat in terms of small critter butcher in terms of rabbit, chicken, duck or turkey.

So I am throwing it out to my dear readers, I know alot of you have food storage as well, got something that is just sitting there on the shelf? Drop me a line on the item and I will hit my cookbooks and put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with a tasty but frugal way to use it!?

  1. Hmm….potatoes for me. They’re from our garden and are starting to get a little soft and sprout eyes.

  2. I haven’t thought about what’s on my shelf…lots of produce that will need to be eaten soon. I’m trying to encourage my dad to eat it up more…because I really dislike throwing food away, especially since our budget is so tight right nw. I’m trying not to be a nag about it.. However, I have seriously considered taking photos of the food I throw away each week….just to see what is going to waste…not sure what that’ll prove…but I want to try 🙂 🙂 Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather 🙂
