The Eating from the Pantry & Freezer Challenge: Week 2

Welcome to the second week of the Eating from The Pantry & Freezer Challenge!  Here’s what it’s all about or you can read the post from Week 1.

Here’s my update:

As it seems with all my weeks, not every meal I had planned got made.  Things just come up or we have more leftovers than we thought!  For example, this weekend, Jesse was in a soccer tournament and the game I went to watch was right at dinner time, so I grabbed a hot dog from the concession.  We also have family in town this week so Sunday dinner was at my in-law’s.

But I did manage to rid our freezer of a few things!  Some chicken is gone (BBQ chicken salad, Chicken in basil cream sauce), a container  of chicken noodle soup is gone, along with quite a bit of produce.

I added up my receipts from my groceries last week and I ended up spending $21.19.  Milk, yogurt, whipping cream, watermelon (first of the summer!), grapes, nectarines and bananas is what I bought.

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:

• Breakfast:  Bran muffin, yogurt, fruit
