This week, I challenged myself to only make meals from our freezer/pantry. No grocery shopping for me! (Although, I did allow myself to make a quick stop yesterday for grapes, carrots, and bread–the necessities.)
Have no fear…I am still in love with E-Mealz. I am not cheating on E-Mealz. I simply need to be sure to use up all of the meat in our freezer!
So, here’s my menu plan after ‘shopping in my freezer’:
Monday: We had lots of leftovers from a picnic on Sunday–hurray!
Tuesday: Pierogies and sausage, vagabond baked beans
Wednesday: Roasted Chicken with Maple Walnut Glaze, leftover baked beans
Thursday: Marinaded Chicken Tossed Salad (with lettuce from our garden!), rolls
Friday: We’re going camping and only have to bring snacks!
My freezer is very happy with me!
YAY lettuce from the garden!
you go girl! That’s awesome. We’re heading out of town for a week, but I think I’m going to try this when we get back.
Use what we have!
PS — I’ve been making bread with that bread maker I found — holy cow, it’s wonderful!!
You can do it! My family just wrapped up a month-long grocery free challenge where I cooked from the pantry for a month. (We did make trips to pick up produce and perishables and drinks, which we can never seem to stockpile, but otherwise, I didn’t step foot inside a grocery store for a month.)
I’ll be posting a final post about the challenge soon. Meanwhile, you can read about our progress here:
