It’s review week at Kitchen Stewardship!
We’re 11 Monday Missions along now, and one third of the way through the Super Food series (5 of 15). As a teacher, I know it’s good practice to give everybody a chance to review what they’ve learned (and as a mother and someone who lives in the real world, I know most of you would like a chance to catch up!). If you’re a total stud and you already completed all 11 missions, please try a new recipe this week, from my site or one of my blogroll links. As for me, I’m cooking from the freezer this week!
Here are the Monday Missions, in order:
- Handwashing and Antibacterial Soap : Wash hands well and rid the house of triclosan.
- Reduce Food Waste: Salvage bread heels and leftover cooked veggies.
- Reduce Energy Waste: Using your dishwasher wisely.
- Meal Planning: Level up in your meal plan organization.
- Safe(er) Plastics: Avoid BPA in drinking containers.
- Traditional Bone Broths: How to make the most delicious, frugal, nutritious chicken stock in the world.
The next 15 weeks are a series of Super Food challenges. See this post for details. - Legume Recommend Beans: A challenge to include beans/legumes in your meal plan once a week, with how-to prepare and recipes.
- Making Yogurt: Easy how-to steps to make homemade yogurt, plus alternative baby steps for those who aren’t ready to take the plunge to homemade.
- Eat More Eggs: A simple challenge to include more of this super food in your week.
- Can the Cans: Commit to never allowing canned vegetables in your cupboards.
- No Nukes for Cruciferous Vegetables: Try steaming your vegetables instead of using the microwave.
BONUS: Please sign up for the Mind the Microwave in May Challenge! I’m not asking you to toss out your microwave, or even to stop using it…just to be conscious of your microwave use this month and consider alternatives for what you do in the mic. Just leave a comment saying “I’m in!” at this post. Read about the origins of Mind the Microwave Month and some Research Notes as well.
You can find the Monday Missions anytime under the “Missions Checklist” tab at the top of the page.
This week I’ll be refining some old post links, organizing comments, making sure everything moved over correctly from the old site (and deleting posts over there), and feeding you some new info on Minding the Microwave, including 10 practical tips for microwave alternatives. I’m also hoping to update you on the dishwasher detergent ongoing experiment and a Mary and Martha Moment titled “Why Kitchen Stewardship”.
I want to thank you again, regular readers, for being involved and validating my blog life by reading my stuff!
…and if you don’t use fresh garlic in your cooking, I’m still going to challenge you to use it. You might as well pick up a bulb at the store this week. It won’t even cost you a buck. 
Fun note: I was a guest poster last week at Catholic Mothers Online!
