Using What You Have
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
With the Pantry Challenge in full swing at my house, I'm trying to think ahead and be creative with new recipes. I reread the Use What You Have posts from MoneySavingMom's blog, and found a link for a website that is going to be of great value to me in the coming weeks.
Supercook is an exhaustive website that allows the input of ingredients, and then chooses recipes according to what you have available in the pantry. I'm looking forward to trying it!
Tuesday's menu includes the following:
Breakfast: cereal with milk or pancakes, fresh orange juice
Lunch: cheese pizza & veggie pizza, green salad with cottage cheese
Snacks: nuts and apple slices
Dinner: playing "Survivor" which means we eat whatever leftovers are in the fridge, and since there are quite a few leftovers to finish off, this will not be an issue!
There are several great coupons and rebates that expire on the 31st, so I'm going to use the last of my Walgreens Register Rewards to purchase some of the items, and will probably spring for the rest out of pocket, since I have $30 for the week, and haven't had to spend anything so far.
