It seems every month and a half to two months I realize that I have A LOT of odds and ends left over from various recipes. This is when I say it's time to 'eat out of the pantry' for the week. This means I'm not going grocery shopping and we're creating meals out of whatever we have.
This is one of those weeks. We're just home from visiting family over Christmas, so it's a short week anyway. Here is what we're coming up with this week:
Tues: Baked tilapia, mashed potatoes, crescent rolls ('brown Tuesday' anyone?)
Wed: Hamburger patties, mac & cheese
Thurs: Chicken pot pie (my favorite 'no brainer' recipe)
Fri: Sausage patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns
Sat: NYE 2011
Sun: who knows! I really need to get to the grocery store.
Although this meal planning method is typically not as healthy as usual, it is refreshing to get everything wiped out to start from scratch. Sound like a New Year's Resolution?
