The Reason

I am one of those people who throws away a lot of food...because it went bad before I could eat it, because I bought it and didn't really like it, because it fell someplace in the fridge that I forget about or couldn't see. Either way, it's a lot of excess. So...I'm going to see if I can change this.

I am also a compulsive hoarder. As in, I should be fine if I want tuna fish because I have 26 cans in the pantry as I type (no, I am not kidding). I should also be okay if I want to make that tuna with mayo, because I have 5 bottles (of five varying varieties) in the fridge- full fat, low fat, canola oil, olive oil...etc. Gross.

So, I am challenging myself to try to actually put to use the amalgamation of random canned goods, frozen vegetables and spices to good use...

2 exceptions: Milk and fresh fruit. The fruit for obvious nutritional value and the milk because something has to go with the 6 boxes of cereal I have to go through...

  3. I think my main problem is that I can't cook anything without a recipe, so I just look at all of those cans and things and can't imagine how they all could possibly fit together.

  4. Yeah, I think that could be a challenge...I feel like I am "creative" enough to try and figure it out. The best case scenario- something tasty. The worst case scenario- something nasty--which may act like some sort of fasting, low-food diet and maybe I can drop some lbs haha...I'm just seeing perks here :)
