This is what our food waste looked like before I started blogging about it. Unfortunately, this is waste from this week.
Up front are absolutely delicious peanut butter oatmeal bars. I made a 9 x 13 pan a few weeks ago and we devoured them. Then I made them just a few days later, and after one serving, my husband and son left the rest for me. I ate them for 4 days, but then not for 2. By the time I got back to them, I didn't trust eating them as it had been a week.
I bought the dairy product to add to my hot chocolate at CHRISTMAS! It was way in the back of the fridge.
There is a bun from last week that we never got to eat and a leftover smoothie that I didn't really like and my husband never finished up.
Rounding it out, there is 1/4 jar left of baby food that got pushed to the back and forgotten about and 2 sad, sad carrots.
I can't believe this is even there because I have an enormous sweet tooth, but there are also the remains of my son's birthday cake and cupcakes.
That is our terrible food waste week. I am aiming for one more no waste week next week to redeem myself.

Pushed to the back - that's what happens to stuff in our fridge!
Once things get pushed to the back of the top shelf they are as good as gone at our house.
I think you could spin the uneaten sweets into a pat on the back if you tried. :-)
From Christmas LOL! I think lots of us love to pig out on something and then we've reached our max on it, so it gets wasted. I try to freeze sweet treats, but invariably forget. Could you put it out for the birds?
I saw a tip on a a monitor in the grocery store that you can take those sad carrots, place them in a glass of ice water and put back in the refrigerator and they will crisp back up and be ready to use.
LOL at Alea! I don't suppose it's terribly noble to eat a bunch of sweets to avoid wasting them, so you're right.
