The pantry living is going well. Friday the 1st I spent prepping meals for the weekend--baked chicken breasts, spaghetti sauce and chicken parmesan...I worked all weekend so it was important to have meals made for the family. I also made cinnamon rolls to take in to work. I also went shopping for fresh produce and dairy products. I spent $40, using a $25 Albertsons gift card to help pay for the groceries--$15 out of pocket. I purchased some salads to eat at work as well. The only things I purchased that weren't "allowed" were some nuts for my husband to eat at work and a bottle of salad dressing. We ended up not eating formal meals all weekend--everyone was busy and they just grabbed what they could find in the fridge. Tonight we had the chicken parmesan and the spaghetti. I had gone to Winco this morning to get some fresh broccoli and more fruit. I got a honeydew melon, strawberries, grapes, nectarines, bananas, blueberries and apples. I made blueberry muffins for the kids for breakfast. I had a bunch of carrots that needed to get used so I grated them up and used some to make a carrot cake and froze the rest to make carrot cake in the future. I also steamed some of the carrots to go with dinner. I used the bread machine to make a loaf of french bread--yum! I grated up abrick of colby-jack cheese and a wedge of paremsan also.
Doing well so far--tomorrow will be another food prep day because I have to work 12 hour shifts on Wednesday and Thursday.
