July 3rd 2019
So breakfast was easy as we are using up the cereal and my son 8 years old decided he wanted an omelette on toast.
Lunch was sandwiches with the bread i needed to use up from the freezer and the filling/salad was what I needed to use up from the fridge.
Another thing to add to my list when I replace it is cucumbers that are not wrapped in plastic. I am going to add a shopping list page to my blog so that you can see day by day what I’m stumbling upon to replace with a plastic free alternative.
Dinner was fab, as for the first time ever I made Cornish pasties from scratch with home made chips. This might not seem difficult to some people but I always brought them in packaging. The kids loved my pasties so I’m delighted and one successful dinner I will add to my success list.
Pudding this evening is trifle my last box in the cupboard so again the alternative will be making my own. Finding out how replace jelly that’s not wrapped in plastic will be interesting too next how do I make jelly.
I’m loving the fact that my kids are taking my challenge on board, they are so supportive and remind me daily that they did not use or buy plastic either.
Tonight my son ran to the freezer to try out the home made ice lollies and I have not heard from him since but can hear the sucking slopping noise you hear when a child is enjoying what they are eating. Again another success.
I think this week is going to be my easiest week of July as the food is all here needing to be used up from my shopping in June. Replacing, reusing and cooking from scratch is the challenging parts of this Plastic free July.
