I have been stuck inside with a cold for 9 days and I am going outta my mind with nothing to do. I decided today to do something about the state of my overloaded pantry.. After doing a thorough review of my pantry, freezer, and fridge it has been determined that I CAN feed my family for one month without buying anything extra (other than Milk/Dairy which we get delivered from RC Dairy, and weekly produce consisting of 1 choice of a fresh fruit and a few veggies for the week). Here is my diary (one week at a time) of what I will be making this month (posted mostly so I can keep track and also for your entertainment) for Breakfast and Dinner. Lunch is usually soup or a sammy (I have enough lunch meat frozen for the whole month) or we get something on the go, therefore I wont count Lunch in these recipes. Also Breakfast is interchangeable based on what we feel like in the morning but it is nice to have it listed on here so I can prepare ahead for the week. How freaking exciting! Check back soon for more yummy updates! LMAO!
