This weekend was absolutely fantastic but as I am looking ahead and I realized that we seriously need to clear out some food before it goes bad. I think the first major difference is that we are down to one refrigerator in the house we need to reduce the extra food because if it is moved outside it definitely will not get used. My plan this week is to clear out as much as possible and only make enough food for one meal so that we don’t add to the choas and food waste. I will be cleaning out any bad food tonight (Monday) as well ! Almost forgot to add that meals on Saturday and Sunday look very different as they were part of our trip fun!
Breakfast- Saturday-Omega House (local to Ocean Lakes) Sunday- Campground store as I am working on laundry Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday–I am going to try and make a loaf of sweet bread to go along with the other food we have. Find it (oatmeal, omelets, cereal and milk, sausage, pop-tarts ,cereal bars, French toast, breakfast burritos and eggs).
Lunch- Saturday- food trucks Sunday-meatballs sliders on the way home (our new favorite travel food) Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday- Leftovers or salad. I will be total honest and admit that sense most of my week is in my office, lunch out will happen likely 3 days.
Dinner- Saturday- hot dogs and smores Sunday- start eating these leftovers! Monday-Clean out the fridge night Tuesday Chicken Tacos (this will be the last of these) Wednesday- KFC bowls using the mashed potatoes already made Thursday- Kielbasa and rice Friday- One box of hamburger Helper
As I am looking ahead to the last two month of the year, I am planning to focus on using up the food we have aka starting the pantry challenge and going for four months! My rules will be to only buy fresh fruit if I am at the store, ordering diary as needed, Sodas are a must but bread will be a combination of ordering if we need something else and making our own. A couple of exceptions will be for parties, holiday meals and trips of course. Ok so a modified pantry challenge for at least three of the four months!
