Busy weekend... and food prep.

This weekend I was supervising some students in a virtual reality workshop #hackforheritage so it was a busy one! It's Sunday night and I know if I do just one hour of concentrated food prep the week will be easier (and more delicious). So here I go. 

-instant pot is cooking 7 hard boiled eggs

-yogurt on the stove

-once the eggs are done, wash, spin and pack lettuce

-earlier today I made crunchy granola in the oven. I tried to find the origional recipe to link and couldn't so I've taken a pic of my recipe card at the bottom. ** "flavor" is whatever you want. We have to do our with no nuts for school so this week we used coconut flakes, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, white cocolate flakes and smarties. All easily available in bulk...with no packaging. I use a silicon baking mat instead of parchment paper. 

And... there you go,... 

Weekend food prep

Weekend is over... and all that is left to do is fold the laundry. ... but that is a netflix job. 

Another weekend job is food prep. Depending on the weekend, our needs and energy, I try to prep a few things for the week ahead. 

Here are this week's jars for the fridge and pantry. 

-yogurt

-washed and chopped lettuce**

-mason jar muffin mixes

Other weekend prep jobs might include

-bread or muffins

- granola

-hard boiled eggs

-beans

Helps us stay in food during the busy weekdays. 

**(I can wash, spin and pack two head of lettuce in about 20 min and they last a week and a half at least in the fridge. It makes for a quick weekday salad and replaces the plastic boxes of washed greens I was buying.)

Fixing s%$t

Zero waste is not throwing stuff out. Today I unpacked the christmas lights... not a single strand worked. A bunch of youtubing later and some trial and error and now three broken strands became 2 working ones.

This is the tutorial that most helped me.

Do it! Fix s$#t. It's so satisfying. 

P.S. if you've got a stand of broken LED lights around you want to get rid of I'll take 'em. 😜
