Wow, it's been a long time since I last posted! But I have many excuses. Much of October and November the three of us were sick with colds. We moved into our house at the end of October. A week later we had Clara's birthday party. A couple weekends in a row of house guests. And last week we went to Manitowoc to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with Jeremy's family. So am I off the hook for not posting for so long?
This month I've decided to present myself with a pantry challenge. I'm going to attempt to keep the grocery purchases to a minimum and use up as much as I can that we already have on hand. I thought it might be a fun challenge, plus it will encourage me to use up some of those things that have been in the cupboard for a long time, hopefully cut down on my time spent running errands, and leave us with a little extra cash at the end of the month.
So for this week's menu...
Monday
L- turkey sandwiches, coleslaw, cranberries (all were Thanksgiving leftovers)
D- leftover pizza and pasta, applesauce
Tuesday
Turkey hash, biscuits, cranberries
Wednesday
Summer Sausage soup, biscuits, kiwi
Thursday
Chicken enchiladas, apple slices
Friday
Pork chops, baked potatos, salad
Saturday
Dinner out w/friends
Sunday
Dinner at a Christmas party
I did buy the kiwi and the apples today, along with a few other fresh produce items, but otherwise I already had everything I needed for these meals.
Anyone else want to take on a pantry challenge this week/month?
