21-Day Earth Day Challenge - Day One (Friday)

On Friday, I took stock of everything that I had on hand to work with for this challenge -- luckily, it was produce delivery day. Below is a list and photos of the PLETHORA of food that I have. I made no surplus purchases in advance of this challenge. If anything, I've got less on hand than normal, because I've been trying to cut back on the amount that I spend at the grocery store. For, example, take the containers of dried goods you'll see in the pantry section; normally, I'd be having a panic attack if that many of them were below the completely-full level.

So, as you see, there is more than enough food here to feed two people for, oh, I don't know about a year? I take pride in having a well-stocked vegan pantry, but, yeah, FOUR BAGS of croutons and every variety of lentil the Greenwood Market has to offer?? I think things have gone just a skosh overboard. So, over the coming weeks/months we'll be seeing how much of this stuff we can consume!
