Once again we are getting ready to move. We're also on a bit of a budget - as usual. We're just poor gypsies!
In order to both save money and utilize as much of what's already in the cabinet, we've embarked in a challenge to not spend money on groceries until we've used up what we already have. We are so sustainable. Yeah, that's it. Not poor, not pennypinching. Sustainable. Duh.
I get so caught up in making fun recipes (REALSimple has me there) that sometimes I think I need to take off to the store at every turn to make tasty meals. This next week should be interesting (use what you have use what you have).
We have: chicken breasts, Omaha steak burgers, bananas, oatmeal, kielbasa, bacon, edamame, tuna, waffle mix, pasta, butter, spices, salad dressing, butterscotch chips, homemade beer cheese, rice, shredded parm cheese, flour, wine, ice cream (quickly waning supply) and eggs.
We will buy: potatoes, sandwich buns, maybe some other veggies to keep us green.
On the menu:
Bacon burgers and homebaked homefries
Tuna Salad Sandwiches and veggies with dip
Breakfast for dinner - Belgian Waffles and eggs
Jambalaya
Rue's spicy pasta (with chicken)
The extras:
Oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies
Banana bread (two loaves)
It's actually pretty amazing what you can do with what you have. Oh, a lesson I'm learning every. single day.

ReplyDeletesounds like a feast! actually if we ever get an offer on our house we will have to do the same thing. it's amazing what you can put together creatively--that and with the ingredients tool on allrecipes.com!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the all recipes info. I didn't know you could enter in any ingredients and it would give you a recipe. Sam and I used it this morning.
