Rules for my New Years resolution
I thought I should put the rules out there for the “From Scratch” challenge - I am currently planing on two months, but with the option of going the entire year:
- All food must be made from scratch.
- Milk, must be organic, local and Whole.
- Eggs, must be from a local source.
- When possible - veggies and fruit should be local. It’s winter so that will be a bit tough right now, so non-local is OK.
- Meat (not counting the existing chicken breasts in the freezer) has to also be from a local source.
- Scratch is defined as the ingredients used are closest to “real” food. Should be things that your great grandmother would recognize as ingredients.
- Examples: no commercial flour, no peanut butter etc, absolutely no hydrogenated oils.
- There are some exceptions: it is preferred to make pasta from scratch, but, using what is currently in the house is allowed, this also goes for pasta sauce. I have one pot of Dijon mustard, that is allowed (will make it from scratch when i run out), as well as the Marmite (can’t make from scratch, will continue to get it from the UK). Anything that is home preserved is allowed as well.
- One meal is allowed to be eaten out (per week).
