I've spent the day helping my inlaws organize their kitchen cabinets. I'm nowhere near finished! At least I wasn't freezing in the snow! lol
This is officially Day 12 of the pantry challenge, hosted by Fishmama. I haven't been majorly grocery shopping since December 23rd. I have bought milk, some fresh produce, and some great deals. I have spent considerably less while following this challenge.
Yesterday I organized my freezers which was such an eye opener. I had no clue I had quite that much meat onhand. I am going to do my best to stay on this challenge till February (but I get antsy when my reserves go down!).
Todays meals were strictly PANTRY!!!
Breakfast
4 Partial boxes of Toaster Struedels divided up.
Lunch
Left over Chicken and Dumplings, added a bag from the freezer to have enough for all 5 of us, my 2 nieces, and my mother- and father-in-law.
Dinner
Left over goulash, left over green beans, left over mashed potatoes.
Such a plain day, but it was all good, and NOTHING went to waste! What a success!
After the day at my in-laws and seeing all the groceries they had that they had forgot about due to children helping them put it away, I was thinking, I wished I could encourage them to do a pantry challenge! They would be so surprised! I know I have been with my pantry!
Anybody else participating? If you are, how are you doing?? Let me know!

ReplyDeleteI have made some spread sheets to inventory my freezer, pantry and fridge/freezer inside. That was I can know what I have on hand. The Pantry Challenge has been easy so far....I will need to buy milk, cheese and some produce next week but thats allowable :)
Awesome Michelle. I must say today was good as far as following the challenge, but my roasted chicken was horrible :( I didn't know you could mess that up, but I was not happy with it at all, everybody else seemed to like it tho.
