Embarking on the Eat from the Pantry Challenge

If you buzz around the internet on mommie blogs you may have seen bloggers participating in the challenge mentioned above. I have been chewing on the idea of this for quite some time and I know my husband has suggested it more than once...

Should I participate in the Eat from the Pantry Challenge Adventure? I even thought I would secretly embark on this but then I thought, "What fun is an adventure by yourself?" So here I am joining in all of the fun. This comes at the right time for us. I need to start using my stockpile of items in the freezer and pantry since we have our home on the market (and are hoping it will sell in the near future). I cannot image packing up and moving all the goodies I have collected along this frugal frenzy way!!

I officially embarked on this trip on Monday. So far it is smooth sailing, but three days into it I guess it would be. Our weekly meal plan:

Monday: Deer meat crock pot chili, salad, crackers

Tuesday: Deer meat spaghetti, salad, homemade bread

Wednesday: Chicken corn chowder (crock pot), more homemade bread, broccoli

Thursday: Chicken pot pie (oops found this...freezer party from when?!)  Dinner at a friends

Friday: Deer steaks, potatoes, green beans

Saturday: dinner at a friends

Sunday: leftovers

I wanted to make sure you knew that I would be purchasing milk, eggs, cheese (have plenty), produce/veggies as needed...reasonably prices of course! I have also limited myself to spend very little at Super Doubles...but I am allowed to get free and items under $1.00! (I can't help myself!)

I will occasionally update you on my progress maybe even another weekly menu and pictures!! :-)

So here we go, Eat from the Pantry Challenge! I hope I WIN!!!
