Menu Plan Monday and Pantry Challenge

Last week we did a good job of eating from the pantry. We got through all of our meals but one. I am going to add that one to our menu for this week. I did go to the grocery store on this weekend. I spent about $63.00 which puts us at about $145 for the month. It is more than I wanted to spend but hopefully we can go the rest of the month without spending too much more.

I think the most interesting day of our pantry challenge was Friday. My husbands car wouldn't start so he had my van and I had no eggs, bread, or milk. That was a creative day but I made it through. We had oatmeal for breakfast, homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch and Pulled BBQ chicken on english muffins with homemade potato fries for dinner.



Our menu for this week is:

Monday- Hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes
Tuesday- Pepperoni pizza pie
Wednesday- Cheesy potato soup
Thursday- Salmon, potatoes, and a veggie
Friday- Homemade pizza
Saturday- Roast, carrots, and potatoes
Sunday- Chicken and Dumplings
