Day 4 Challenge: Choose your own adventure!
So Crystal gave us 3 options to do today:
1. Surface Clean the Living Room and Kitchen
2. Clean a Bathroom
3. Clean Your Interior Windows
Since I already did the first two things on the list this week…and I generally avoid cleaning windows as long as possible…I decided to stay true to myself and avoid the windows 🙂 . Instead I decided to tackle cleaning out the fridge. Since my monthly food budget reset this week (always an exciting week!), I did some bulk shopping and filled the fridge…but unfortunately neglected to clear out and clean up the fridge before filling it up again. So here goes!

I got rid of a few expired sauces, condiments, etc. I’m always impressed at how much better looking and more efficient use of space I can manage in the fridge simply by rearranging stuff. I also sliced up and froze some avocados that were on their way south (there are few things more disappointing in life than cutting in to an avocado and finding it WAY over ripe –boo!). I like to use them in our lunch time smoothies for some added creaminess and good fat –mmmm…now I want a smoothie!
I also made a DELICIOUS Healthier Chocolate Brownie Cake , a recipe that I snagged from Tiffany over at Don’t Waste the Crumbs! (a great blog for anyone just getting started on their real food journey — like me!). And I got a crock pot soup going using a ham bone that’s been in my freezer for the past 2 months — Today has felt very productive! 🙂
And I just wanted to add a quick pic of Benjamin…he was such a good boy today 🙂
Did you have a productive day?

I WANT that boy!!! Give!!! I was productive today, because I was at work. And, you ask… “Why were you at work?” And, I will answer, “To pay off my debt… so that I can be with that little boy again!”

Tiffany has the best recipes! We love her Oatmeal Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.
Your fridge looks so nice, I MAY have to add that to my list…
Blythe
She does have really good recipes! The cake, while delicious, could have done without the 3/4 c. whole wheat flour…I know I should be using that more than white flour, but I just can’t love it like I’m supposed to 😦 Maybe I’m doing something wrong… Thanks for stopping by!

Great job on cleaning your fridge up! Your meals sound so delicious!
Yesterday, my son and I planted some vegetable seeds since it was a nice day. I swept the backyard patio and sprayed down the outdoor rug.

Sounds like you had a productive day too! Way to go! My husband is busy working on our garden for the summer — I can’t wait to start enjoying fresh berries and vegetables in just a few months 🙂
