Today was Day 1 of my eat from the pantry ‘Til It’s Empty Week. Unfortunately I have a sick little girl at home and I myself am now sick… so there really wasn’t a whole lot of cooking in the kitchen going on today.
If you aren’t sure what ‘Til It’s Empty Week is about be sure to check out Pt. 1 and Pt. 2! You can print off a free guide with plenty of tips that includes a 4 step action plan to help you organize a week of eating out of the pantry ’til it’s gone! By participating in this challenge it will help you save money, be creative in the kitchen and cultivate gratitude. If you don’t join us this week, feel free to print out the guide to keep on hand so that you can take the challenge whenever works best for your family!

Here is what we had for meals today:
Breakfast: Apple Carrot Muffins (recipe coming tomorrow!)
Lunch: P.B. and Homemade Jelly on a slider bun (my girls) and I had chili that was previously frozen
Dinner: Nachos- simple and yum!
I would like to lay out the rest of my meal plan for the week for you to give you an idea of how my family is taking on this challenge!
For Breakfasts and Lunches I just used Action step 2 lists. I didn’t schedule the on certain days, but will just stick the list of options on my fridge so that we can choose what sounds good or what we have time for that day!
I went ahead and put my snack menu printable in a clear sheet protector so that I could use a dry erase marker and cross off items as they are no longer “in stock!” It will help keep us all organized!
Do remember that while you are participating in this challenge there will be timeswhen you need to buy a few “staples” from the store during your week. The staples I wrote down that we will need to buy if we run out during the week are: eggs, bread, milk and butter. No Guilt!
I would love to hear what’s on the menu at your house for the upcoming week!
