Ok, so we've been doing this food challenge/clean out the pantry for one week. Here are this past week's meals ...
Wednesday - shrimp and crab corn bisque (frozen leftovers in the freezer), saltines (darn, still half a sleeve left)
Thursday - Ate out (our monthly date night)
Friday - Orange glazed chicken, broccoli, roasted potatoes, crescent rolls (finally got rid of these, they've been in our fridge for a month!), chips/salsa
Saturday - Orange glazed chicken, roasted potatoes, roasted asparagus
Sunday - pizza and cheesy bread (ordered ... it was the Superbowl after all!)
Monday - Tilapia, broccoli, bread
Tuesday - Tilapia, broccoli, bread
Generally, the meals I make are enough for two dinners so we usually have the exact same meal the next day. I hesitate to make any meal larger than that because we would get tired of eating it. Of course that doesn't apply to soups because they freeze so well, and I freeze them in one meal portions.
I'll admit I was a little disappointed that our pantry isn't getting as empty as I would like it to be. We bought produce this week and more milk but no non-perishable items. We did finish off the ice cream and two things of salsa so that's starting some where. I'm hoping as this goes on further, it starts to be a noticeable change. Again, I have to figure out how to use up all of our spices/seasonings. I am trying to drink more tea in the mornings as well.
At this point, I am out of recipes for the food we had (I had already found some prior to starting this whole thing). So this next week will be interesting. :-)
