We were getting ready to go away for the weekend and needed to use up some produce. I thought I'd take you along for the day to see what I ate and how I used up the food.
I started the day with a big bowl of oatmeal and added our last banana. I also topped it with some Trader Joe's Pumpkin O's, dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds and LOTS of cinnamon.
One of my favorite ways to make zucchini is to sauté it with some onion, minced garlic, liquid aminos (or soy sauce) and a tiny bit of sesame oil. I finish it off with sesame seeds and green onions if I have them.
Snack time was some leftover apples (I had sprinkled them with cinnamon) and pumpkin pie hummus.

Here's what I needed to use up for dinner: a mix of potatoes, some cauliflower almost past its prime and some broccoli crowns.

I made this Creamy Garlic Cauliflower Sauce to top our potatoes and roasted the broccoli. Fridge was cleaned out!

Hi Heather, I do the same thing.
I thought of you when I finally got to TJ the other day. Do you guys have a line outside to get in? I bought the vegan caesar dressing thanks to you!
Oh I also bought those washable bags in the cleaning product section. I am going to use them for storage! They are so cute! laura
Did my comment go through? I think I rushed it! Well here it goes:

I found washable shopping bags in cleaning section. Might use them for cute storage.

I like the way you cleaned out the refrigerator using up your produce. The zucchini sounds delicious and I like that you add the onion and soy sauce and sesame oil. Next time I make it I'm going to make that way.
This was fun Heather. And yum, well done on using up the goodies in the fridge.
What a tasty day!!
