Pantry Challenge Day #4 Results


Today was a pretty laid back day.  We relaxed and watched the snow outside.  But I did get a lot of housework done.  We ended up splurging to get take out tonight, just because it was that kind of day.  Here's how the menu went...
  • Breakfast: Iced Coffee for Me, Granola Bar for Joe
  • Lunch: Pizza at Home (used some pepperoni and sausage, cheese, and leftover sauce from the freezer)
  • Dinner: Paradisio Cheese Steaks and Salad

Pantry Challenge Day #3 Results


Today was CRAZY!  I had a meeting at 10:30 am, which I found out when everyone got there that I was running, so I am glad I was well prepared.  :-)  But I had planned to get up at 6 am when Howard usually wakes up for a feeding.  I figured I'd nurse him and put him back down to sleep, and I would get some housework done and slowly get ready for my meeting.  Well, Howard decided to get up at 4:30 am and then sleep until 9 am!  Not that I am complaining about the extra sleep, it just made me have to hit the ground running, which I really do NOT like to do.  Since I didn't have time to get the potato soup in the crock pot, which I had planned to have for dinner, I had to figure something else out.  So when I got back from my meeting, I thawed some burgers, figuring I could use up the last of the rolls leftover from Christmas.  But, when I went to start dinner, I found out that they were starting to mold.  Luckily I had some hamburger buns in the freezer, so I grabbed 2, wrapped them in foil, and tossed them in the oven with the tots, and they actually thawed and toasted beautifully!  Three separate times Joe asked if I wanted him to go grab something for dinner, and I said 'no, were in the middle of a challenge here!'  ;-)  Here's how the day went down food wise...
  • Breakfast: Iced Coffee for Me, Granola Bar for Joe
  • Lunch: Diet TV dinner for Me, Leftover Baked Pasta and some link Sausage for Joe
  • Dinner: Bacon Cheese Burgers and Baked Tater Tots
