At the beginning of most weeks, I give tips on how to avoid wasting food. Today let’s talk about prioritizing what to cook.
I’ve often nagged that it’s best to plan out the week’s meals or at least a few in a row before grocery shopping to avoid excessive purchasing. What happens if you don’t have time to plan ahead?
