...instead of W.I.A.Y. ...emptying the fridge...

...I have too much fresh food in my fridge to leave for the beach...

...so I got busy using it up...I washed the spinach...and saved the stems...

...and just water sauteed it with some mushrooms...and a little garlic...

...that was a delicious side...I'll make it again for sure...

...then I dried a bunch of kale massaged and sprinkled with salt-pepper-nooch...I'll put that in a baggie and take it to the beach for a snack...

...there were two lemons...an orange...and the kale and spinach stems that needed to be used up...so I got out a bag of frozen blueberries...

...put it all in the Vitamix with some cranberry juice...

...and blended it up...the banana made it kind of creamy...I don't usually put banana in my smoothies...

...it made a huge smoothie...so I repurposed a water bottle that Scout had bought...

...and finally we were gifted a bag of fresh homegrown okra...and I for sure didn't want that to get wasted...

...so I froze it...and we'll enjoy that bit of summer this winter...

...so the fridge is in pretty good shape for vacation...

~Have a lovely day!
