Last week’s Pantry Challenge Menu went relatively well but was pretty boring. I had hoped to get to the store on Thursday but never did. On Sunday morning I did a loss leader/sales shop at Stop and Shop and on Monday morning I’ll be completing my grocery shopping at Shaws. Check my blog on Tuesday for the results of those two shopping trips.
My menu plans for the next two weeks will take advantage of the sales items I was able to get at both stores. This week I’m focusing on using the more perishable items in my menu and next week I’ll work with what I have left. My grocery goal this month is to feed my family on $200. The majority of that is going to be spent this week so I’m going to have to make things stretch.
Here is the plan for this week:
Sunday – Flying Pantry Gourmet (in other words I’m winging it!)
Monday – Broccoli, Mushrooms and Sausage over Penne
Tuesday – Rosemary Chicken Dinner (I'm substituing sweet pototaes for the white potatoes in this recipe), Broccoli
Wednesday – Quesadilla Surprise (utilize leftover chicken and leftover veggies)
Thursday – Crockpot BBQ Spareribs, Coleslaw, Mashed Potatoes, Corn
Friday – Soft Taco’s, Rice, Salad
Saturday – Pork Fried Rice (use leftover rib meat and leftover rice)
Lunches this week will consist of sandwiches, chef salads and leftovers. The kids and I are going to bake Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies later today for a treat throughout the week.
