January's Pantry Challenge

I'm starting the process of eating through what we have in our freezer/pantry. My intent is to try to eat through our stockpile for the month January. Think of it as a challenge in menu creativity.

What this does NOT mean is that I won't be grocery shopping, just shopping less. I'll be buying produce, allergen-free food for my son, and a few great deals when I find them. I intend to use the money I'm saving from our grocery budget to put toward some bulk food purchases - which should over time reduce our grocery budget all together.

That being said, here is week #1 of our stockpile menu

Monday
B - Buckwheat Waffles, Banana
L - Leftovers
D - Pork Roast, Salad, Roasted Potatoes, Carrots

Tuesday
B - Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pancakes, Clementines
L - Grilled Cheese, Applesauce
D - BBQ Ribs, Mashed Potato, Frozen Corn

Wednesday
B - Sausage, Apple Slices
L - Leftovers & Hot Dogs
D - Pasta & Loaded Spaghetti Sauce, Garlic toast, Green Beans

Thursday
B - Fried Ham Bits, Grapes
L - Biscuit Ham & Cheese, Pirate's Booty
D - Mexican Pork Salad

Friday 
B - Bagels, Bacon
L - Quesadillas, Salsa
D - Homemade Pizza, Carrot Sticks

Saturday 
B - Donut Muffins, Sausage
L - Sunbutter Sandwiches, Pretzels, Apple Slices
D - Golden Chicken & Veggies replaced with Grilled Sausage &Skillet Potatoes

Sunday
B - Impossible Pie, Smoothies
L - Hamburgers, Frozen Corn, Chips, Applesauce
D - Leftovers
