This all sounds tasty. I recently heard of a fridge hack where you have a "cook first" bin. It's the place to throw soon-to-wilt veggies, random knobs of cheese, and other items that need to be cooked in the next few days. It's a great prompt for what needs to be cooked soon. I also recommend having a few freezer friends. These are items that I keep in the freezer to make when I don't know what to make or when the groceries are low. My favorite is a bag of frozen spinach with which I can always use to make a side of cream spinach using whatever ingredients I have on hand. (cream cheese, half an onion, random bits of cheese, etc.)

Oh I love the cook first bin idea! I will have to try that. Always looking for new ways to organize. And love the spinach idea too. Will be adding that to my rotation!
