I know that in order for me to stay on top of the pantry challenge I have got to plan for all meals.  This week is fairly easy as we have a swim meet on Saturday so we can eat both before and after. I also wanted to make sure that I am using some of the “non-preferred” items up front.  In order to make lunches easier for me I have decided to try the following Leftover meal. salad meal, soup and either a sandwich or roll up.  This should keep me on track as long as I get lunch made the night before!

Breakfast- Saturday- bacon, sausage and pancakes   Sunday-toast.  Monday, Tuesday Wednesday and Friday- find it oatmeal, omelets cereal and milk, French toast sticks, bagels, breakfast burritos and pancakes. Thursday- homemade bagels or baked oatmeal.

Lunch- Saturday-Nachos   Sunday-La Caretta, Monday- left-overs, Tuesday salad, Wednesday- sandwich or roll up, Thursday- taco soup Friday- out to eat

Dinner- Saturday-Snack feast for New Year Eve,  Sunday- Baked Ziti, Monday- Bacon/cheddar burgers and fries Tuesday- Chicken enchiladas- with a second pan to freeze for later, Wednesday- spaghetti and garlic bread   Thursday- Pork Fried Rice   Friday-Leftovers or grilled cheese sandwiches.

Everything has already been pulled from the freezer so it should be pretty simple and straight forward!
