Hand-Picked Tips

With the cold weather in the rear-view mirror, it is time to embrace the spring season. If spring cleaning is your thing, don’t forget to include the kitchen pantry on the “to-do” list. Cleaning the pantry will not take too much time and the result can streamline meal planning and contribute to a healthier diet in the process. While sifting through your pantry contents, be sure to check dates on shelf-stable items and take inventory of frequently used staples. It is important to recognize that “use by dates” are a helpful guide. However, if a “use by date” has come and gone, don’t toss that product just yet. Discover what those dates mean on food products and help prevent food waste in the process. Food waste is a major global issue, recognized during Food Waste Prevention Week celebrated April 7^th to April 13^th this year. With some planning and imagination, especially when it comes to perishable foods, you will unknowingly cut back on food waste. Explore simple efforts, from organizational techniques to repurposing leftovers, that will be beneficial to your home and the environment. Finally, with spring in mind, don’t forget to assess your “clean diet.” Reflect how small modifications in shopping, planning, and food preparation can have a significant impact on diet and general well-being.
