Weekly Menu

One of the things about limiting how much processed foods you buy is that it goes bad quickly.  It really makes you think about all the chemicals and preservatives that are in our 'normal' food.  How can something stay in our pantries for a year and still be safe to eat?  Eating unprocessed foods only increases the importance of menu planning because you can't just buy ingredients you might use since it won't last long.  Sometimes I forget how quickly fresh food can go bad... I bought some freshly baked french bread for grilled cheese sandwiches and the bread was stale and moldy within a few days.  You could probably have a loaf of Wonder bread sitting on your counter for weeks.  Any way, I had to swap out the grilled cheese sandwiches for cheesy avocado toasts from last week's menu...
