This week, I challenged myself to only make meals from our freezer/pantry. No grocery shopping for me! (Although, I did allow myself to make a quick stop yesterday for grapes, carrots, and bread–the necessities.)
Have no fear…I am still in love with E-Mealz. I am not cheating on E-Mealz. I simply need to be sure to use up all of the meat in our freezer!
So, here’s my menu plan after ’shopping in my freezer’:
Monday: We had lots of leftovers from a picnic on Sunday–hurray!
Tuesday: Pierogies and sausage, vagabond baked beans
Wednesday: Roasted Chicken with Maple Walnut Glaze, leftover baked beans
Thursday: Marinaded Chicken Tossed Salad (with lettuce from our garden!), rolls
Friday: We’re going camping and only have to bring snacks!
My freezer is very happy with me!
You can do it! My family just wrapped up a month-long grocery free challenge where I cooked from the pantry for a month. (We did make trips to pick up produce and perishables and drinks, which we can never seem to stockpile, but otherwise, I didn’t step foot inside a grocery store for a month.)
I’ll be posting a final post about the challenge soon. Meanwhile, you can read about our progress here:

you go girl! That’s awesome. We’re heading out of town for a week, but I think I’m going to try this when we get back.
Use what we have!
PS — I’ve been making bread with that bread maker I found — holy cow, it’s wonderful!!
