I don't know the last time I cleaned under there, if I ever have at all. Out of sight out of mind? I guess?

But:

I used my rake to pull all the trash out! My arms couldn't reach far enough, so I had to get tricky :3

7 big trash bags filled and taken out to the dumpster, and there's no more trashes under the bed :D

Yay!! The trashmonsters have been conquered!

It came out really good, just on the more mild side than I thought! I left it unsalted so I could season while cooking.

My fiance and I bulk bought veggies, spent the day dicing them all up and mixing them together to freeze in gallon freezer bags, and used the scraps to make stock. Now we have what we refer to as The Mix that's easy to add veggies to all of our meals.

When I lived with my parents, I was relying on fast food constantly. I am happy to be able to make homemade meals that are satisfying and nutritious without relying on buying each and every ingredient. Today, I'm going to attempt to make sandwich bread so we don't have to buy loaves (loafs?) from the store anymore. From eating fast food for 2-3 meals a day to making my own food from scratch, what a crazy four years its been!
