Turn Your Fridge Into a Food Diary Guest Post from Chichi of My Chalkboard Fridge

Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | My Chalkboard Fridge: Turn Your Fridge Into a Food Diary Guest Post from Chichi of My Chalkboard Fridge: "A while back I transformed the surface of my refrigerator into a giant chalkboard and began to record what I cooked in the kitchen and harvested from our garden. It was a handy way to plan meals and to jot down shopping lists, and every few days my boyfriend would grace the board with a whimsical drawing or two. At the end of each week we snapped a picture of the chalkboard to commemorate the bounty that we had consumed, and the pictures in turn formed a diary of our delicious lives.

A chalkboard fridge is exactly what it sounds like, but it’s also so much more than that. There’s something special about committing what you eat to the written word and if you do so for long enough, a chalkboard fridge becomes a culinary journal, helping you to reflect on what kind of an eater you are."
