Last week when we gave you the first Cure download, a reminder sheet for your groceries, reader Eliza said she would also like a way of remembering when each leftover was cooked. We realized that some of us shop frequently for groceries and our problem is remembering what we have and when to use it up, but some us have more problems remembering what we've cooked and when to eat it!
This download is for the latter issue. If you like to cook a lot and squirrel things away in your freezer, or if you like to cook ahead for the week, here's a refrigerator sheet to help you keep your leftovers straight.
Keeping better track of your groceries and your leftovers means less waste, and less things to clean up next time you do the Cure.
This sheet actually has two pages: one for your fridge and freezer combined, and another one just for your freezer, in case you'd like to really track what you put away in your freezer. Mine is a deep dark hole of forgetfulness, and one of my Cure resolutions is to be much more diligent and well-organized about using what I put in my freezer.
Also, we definitely heard your suggestions last week for white-erase versions of these tools. We'd love to do that, but we don't have the capacity for it right now. CallieKoch had a great idea: if one of these tools is helpful for you, print it on thicker paper, laminate it, and use a dry-erase marker.

i can never keep the content lists updated or current and i seldom think to check out lists on the fridge. i find it easier to mark in Sharpie the date opened or stored on items. then when i go to use them i know exactly when they went in. things "lost" in the freezer are still usuable even after months of storage. However, i give things in the refrigerator about a week before composting it.

Psst: the "reminder sheet for your groceries" link in this post simply goes back to the Kitchn cover page. FYI.

Think this is frivolous unnecessary paperwork.
Best to eat things few and fresh, without more than a day or two of leftovers. Being eco-conscious should also relate to eating/having what you need and not stuffing the poor fridge silly with UFOs ("Unidentified Fridge Objects", which is generally just another word for garbage, whether it's composted or not).

My way of being eco-conscious is to buy products in season/harvest from our garden (here in Michigan, "in season" is not all that long) and preserve them for the time when there isn't anything local in-season. That means freezing a good deal of stuff, and a list of what's in there prevents me from standing with the freezer door open trying to figure out what to make.
And I've never felt any pity for my poor fridge... I don't really think it minds. ;)
