The "Challenge" continues: How many meals can I make with the food I have in my pantry and freezer?
Week two was off to a good start. I have to admit, I am starting to crave what I DON'T have!!
I've done well though, with resisting the temptation to go to the grocery store and stock up again. I will say that I did make one run to Hy-Vee to catch some sales: Shredded Cheese, 2 cups for $1, and Bacon for $1.99 (that was 50% off). Both are items you can freeze for when you need them.

We'll see how much longer we last with what's in our house. It's getting more difficult to come up with a complete meal. Although my husband would be okay with just meat on the menu, I prefer a more balanced meal!! Stay tuned for Week Three's Menu.
