This past week I de-boned a whole chicken, pan-seared and roasted along with the innards (for my husband). Then I saved the bones and neck for soup stock. The chicken was juicy and enough for a total of 7-8 portions and easy to eat without having to deal with bones. I use Jacques Pepin's method but can never do it as skillfully and quickly as...

Meal prepping was super helpful !! 

Bagel Lovers - Buy from the bin (you get to pick them out), slice and freeze them, then take out when you are ready to eat one, two, three or more. Let them defrost or just toast them - they stay fresh and no waste!

This time of the year citrus fruit is so abundant you might end up with several bags at a time from generous friends and family. I like to juice & freeze orange and lemon juice to later use in smoothies, don't forget to compost the rinds.

Meal prepped for school starting again tomorrow!!

Quick Reminder - Don't forget to weigh your used coffee grounds before you compost them!
