The power of a leftover list: My fridge and cupboards feel empty today. After doing a quick inventory of foods or “leftovers” I already have on hand, it suddenly seems like I have plenty of food! I was able to make a menu of 6 dinners and a snack from mostly ingredients I already have. A quick way to do a list is to walk through your kitchen and dictate every ingredient you see. It takes about 5 minutes or less! 📋🥗

I’ve been making a whole lotta of Challah bread lately, and it isn’t doing me any favors on the health front. This weekend I decided to try a 100% whole wheat version of this braided bread!
