I thought we were supposed to be close to the bottom of the pantry by this point in January. Somehow, like a mysterious multiplying jar, the freezer and the cupboards have ended up with more in them than I expected. I think the only point to that is that, even when we think we're buying just the basics, we still often have more food than we need. Sometimes that's a good thing--there are always weeks when someone's sick or the weather's too bad to want to do much grocery shopping. But it does make you think.
Monday's dinner: Sesame Seed bread, frozen fish, broccoli, half a bag of perogies. Canned pears and leftover raisin bars.
Tuesday's dinner: A Year of Crockpotting's Sloppy Joes, on homemade rolls. (We have a late-afternoon errand and I do not want to have to come home after that and cook.) Frozen green beans.
Ideas for the rest of the week...
Meatloaf...I like the idea of this cheese-stuffed meatloaf (seen here), but my family is partial to the regular old Betty Crocker recipe. Pancakes and bacon? Chicken? Tuna wrapup? I'd make a pizza or pizza rollups, but we've had a lot of bread lately, so maybe not. I'm thinking spinach lasagna, maybe with homemade ricotta cheese. Or quiche and baked potatoes.
I guess we'll figure it out as we go along.
