Week 3 of Food Challenge

This past week, I got hit by West Texas allergies... HARD.  I don't usually suffer from allergies but there's something out there that's blooming right now that just makes it almost impossible for me to function.  The allergies then turned into a choking cough which I am so glad to be over as it made sleeping near impossible and we all know how much I love my sleep.  So that being said, this past week wasn't the greatest in cleaning out the pantry and freezer...


Wednesday - roasted potatoes, broccoli, grilled backstrap, cherry cobbler (pretty much Valentine's Day all over again)
Thursday - gnocchi with pasta sauce
Friday - sushi (I'm a sucker for it.  Stewart suggested it so of course I agreed!)
Saturday - Taco Night (at a friend's house)
Sunday - Breakfast tacos, Orange Glazed Chicken, broccoli, roasted potatoes
Monday - breakfast tacos, chips, salsa, guacamole, & queso (we actually went out and bought all these ingredients.  We hadn't had a chips & dip night in a while.  Oh well)
Tuesday - pizza (Stewart suggested it so who am I to argue with not having to prepare a meal?)

Wow.  Okay, looking back on this week, we did poorly.  We only ate out of our pantry for THREE nights.  Stuff is never going to empty out this way.  I seriously need to step up my game here.  And this coming week is going to be a challenge!  Stewart's birthday is Sunday so we're going to the rodeo tonight for an early birthday present and then I'm planning on whisking him away for the weekend....which means eating out.  Ugh.  Maybe I can pack some food?

Here's to hoping I start making some serious dents in our pantry!
