While web browsing I came across an announcement for Eating Down the Fridge Challenge. Till then I had not really thought about what or how many times we eat outside. The best way to find out, I think, is to try it out. So this week I am taking the one-week long challenge - Eating down the Fridge.
No shopping for food items, and no eating outside. Let's see how we do. I will be chronicling our food for a week here. :)
Day 1:
I got up early despite losing and hour, and packed food to get us through the day.
Our lunch: baked salmon, greens and fire-roasted pepper hummus sandwich with whole wheat bread. (Since I had not shopped, bread ran out today.)
Snacks: Apple, Roasted Almonds and cranberries
Dinner was easy. Aswin had already made rasam and avial before. So I just made some brown rice and we had a leisurely dinner :)
Don't forget to come back and see our menu for Day 2.

Am definitely following this Mandira! :-)
The challenge sounds exciting. :-)
Mandira,
we dont eat out much, with in-laws moving in and living together, the scenario is different here.We cook at home and outside food is no-no, unless otherwise we feel like going out (that too once a month or any friends party) ....this definitely looks good and keep up with it , cuz its much more healthy option...
wish you a very happy holi
hugs and smiles
I'll take months to eat down the fridge - but I'm taking baby steps.
Wow this sounds very healthy and pocket friendly too. definitely will give it a try. will follow your menu for this week...wish you and Aswin a very happy holi!
Looks like whole day you had healthy food o with the event.
Whole bread/Baked fish/vegetables/ and some nuts and fruits, you've got the essential ! that sounds perfect, healthy, balanced and light! nice initiative!
Read my tomorrow's post. I did this too, well almost! ;D
Mandira -- does this mean no weekly grocery/veggie shopping either ?
We usually eat out or order out on Sat & Sun, weekdays usually it is home cooked.
But even with stuff in the freezer, I need to get fresh veggies every week. I am excited to see how you do without.
BTW tomar baked salmon ta khub bhalo lagche dekhte
Mandira, that is an interesting challenge. Will be watching what you come up with.
I can do for my freezer. I ve plenty of stuff to clean away! That is very tasty ur sandw!
I try to do something like this on a semi-regular basis... Just eat everything that I have... Then start all over... I like your idea of blogging your progress!
