Pantry challenge
I have known of people doing a "pantry challenge" where they commit for a certain number of days or weeks to eat only what is in the pantry/refrigerator/freezer, and buy only staples like milk, eggs and bread.
I think I want to try that. I am looking to cut our grocery bill and heaven knows we have enough food in the house to last awhile, so I want to be creative and use it up. Here is what I am planning this week:
Tomorrow: steaks on the grill, baked potatoes, broccoli with cheese
Monday: eat out (holiday)
Tuesday: grilled burgers, grilled potatoes
Wednesday: grilled chicken breasts, wild rice, green peas
Thursday: lasagna from the freezer
Friday: red beans and rice from the freezer
Saturday: grill steaks (I have a bunch of meat from Omaha steaks), corn, green beans.
