Eats and Empties (Week 1)

I'm simplifying my weekly eating wrap-ups this year and just sharing the eats (new recipes I made), empties (what I used up), and waste from the week. It is still my goal to throw away as a little food as possible, and listing this keeps me accountable. As for the rest of the wrap-up, I just enjoy sharing recipes and hope you, the readers, might get some new kitchen inspiration from my doing so.

(Caveat: We of course eat more that what is on the list each week, but for brevity's sake, I am just going to include the main new stuff we cooked.)

The Eats:

Creamy chicken and broccoli soup (How Sweet Eats) and homemade ciabatta bread (Sally's Baking Recipes)

King ranch chicken casserole (Budget Bytes)

Pumpkin pizza (Food Faith Fitness) (Using ultimate no-knead whole wheat pizza dough from Handle the Heat)

Spicy sausage pizza (Simply Recipes)

The Empties:

Apples
Two pound bag of frozen broccoli
Breakfast sausage
Cajun snack mix (The Cookin' Chicks)
Bag of baby carrots
Five pound bag of carrots
The last frozen sourdough pumpkin muffin (Everyday Homemade)
Twelve ounce bag of mozzarella cheese
Jar of mayonnaise
Can of rotel
Head of romaine lettuce
Frozen slow cooker creole red bean quinoa oats (Oatrageous Oatmeals)
Tortilla chips
Zucchini

What went to waste:

The last few pieces of our old sourdough bread (due to mold)
