This past week didn't do much to clean out our pantry as we were on the move. AGAIN. Not that I minded, it was great catching up with friends, earning some social work credits, and eating yummy ethnic foods. Also, I do enjoy a break from having to figure out what's for dinner. I have found dinner to almost become the most dreaded part of the day. I used to semi-enjoy cooking dinner when I got to browse through recipes and decide what we were going to have. Now, I stare at the pantry and freezer and try to think of what we can have. Even with the lack of dinners at home this past week, I did manage to go through a couple of things which were like small victories in the middle of a war.
Wednesday - spaghetti and salad
Thursday - Sunday - travel
Monday - two cans of different types of chicken noodle soup (I have found that one whole can is a meal for Stewart whereas I have trouble eating at least half the can ... I blame my dislike of chicken noodle soup for that one)
Tuesday - curried chicken, rice, green beans (This meal made me happy ... not because it was gourmet in any way but I got rid of a can of green beans and finished off the chicken in the freezer. Combined with two less cans of chicken noodle soup and the pantry is actually starting to look a little bare!)
I really need to tackle the rest of the deer meat in the freezer. My uncle gave me a recipe for meatloaf that I'm going to have to try. It calls for breadcrumbs though and I don't want to have to buy any so I'm thinking I will be smashing some crackers to smithereens.
I've been trying to eat more toast in the morning for breakfast. This way I can use up my cinnamon sugar in the cabinet.
This week isn't going to be anything fancy. I'm going out of town again this weekend for another social work workshop. I'm definitely looking forward to not having to think about how to use what I have for dinner. Maybe I'll be able to come back recharged and ready. It's just going to get harder the emptier everything gets.
