End of Eat from Your Pantry

Yay!

We did cheat a little when my MIL brought us a bunch of stuff...some staples and some fun stuff. But we didn't use them for any dinners. Does that help?

Monday: I didn't cook; surprise party for my thesis defense. :)
Tuesday: Herb and butter chicken and rice*/broccoli
Wednesday: Chicken soup (boxed)/cheese and crackers (I was sick)
Thursday: J was with his mom
Friday: Staff meeting
Saturday: Cheddar turkey casserole

We made a pretty good dent in our pantry this month; we are definitely bored...but fine. I've learned to improvise, improvise, improvise...and I'm definitely getting more creative with my cooking. And I'm down 4 lbs. So...hey.

*Herb and butter rice-a-roni with two chopped chicken breasts cooked in. Easy peasy....and super cheap if you buy the rice-a-roni from the bent and dent store. I also use just one chicken breast sometimes if we're low on meat.
