Over time, I have discovered a simple problem that I have as a single person\u2026spoiled food. I cannot tell you how peeved it gets me to discover that item sitting on my cabinet or fridge shelf has zoomed past its expiration date. I try to keep a close eye on the dates when I buy stuff so I do not get things that are set to expire soon if I can help it and keep portions small enough so I have a shot of using them up. However, it seems almost a foregone conclusion that I end up with part of a loaf of bread unused or some leftover meat gone bad depending of how much I am home. <\/p>\n
Part of the problem ends up being that I get busy with life and am not as home as much to use up some items. There is only so much I can do about that part, but I am doing some more studying about better utilizing my freezer to improve shelf life of my items. <\/p>\n
Of course, sometimes I do dumb stuff like leaving the brand new package of ham I brought so I can make some of the grilled cheese and ham sandwiches that I love out on the counter all night instead of putting it in the fridge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
