Eating from the pantry challenge

I am going to be participating in the Eat from the Pantry Challenge hosted by Life as Mom and Money Saving Mom.

I have quite a bit of meat in our freezers and I need to use some of it up. I already know that I have a bunch of vegetables that I will need to pitch because they are way too old.

So my goals for this challenge are really just 1) use up the food that is getting old and 2) reduce our grocery bill. I would like to stay around $100 for the month but we will see how that goes.

I am going to go week by week on my menus so that I can use up the oldest food first. So here is my menu for this week.

Monday- (breakfast for dinner) breakfast casserole
Tuesday- Ham and potatoes
Wednesday- Ham and Beans
Thursday- Meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Friday- Chicken Tacos
Saturday- Chicken Pot Pie
Sunday- Roast, carrots and potatoes
