PANTRY CHALLENGE

I'm issuing a challenge!


Can you live out of the pantry, freezer and frige for one week?

I'm going to, starting tomorrow (MONDAY) and wanted to know who wants to join me? You may spend only $5.00 for food stuff. Period. The rest of the meals, snacks, whatever have to be from whats on hand in the house. (Quick! go shopping today! LOL) .
If you want to play along, leave a comment here.

Also, just so we're not looking into our pantry and seeing only creamed corn and potato chips, and in the freezer some ground beef. (all hypothetical, of course!) if you need help coming up with recipes for what you have on hand, comment on it and let's all help each other out with some ideas or recipes.

Sound like fun? This is going from Monday to Sunday (yeah, I know, not a full week but almost) On the Monday after that, I'll put up a McLinky and we can all link up and tell how our week went.
So, who's in? I'll be doing PANTRY CHALLENGEs through the year, so if you didn't get in on this one, just keep checking back.
Oh, and if you'd like to take the button up top, and link back here, PLEASE feel free! The more the merrier!

Ok, now, comment and tell all who is in!

  5. I have actually been doing this since Friday by default. We are short between pay periods so I didn't do my regular shopping. My pantry and freezer are good so far. I made brownies tonight for treats. We shall see how the rest of the week pans out.

  10. Yes, but we'd have some weird combinations :) About 6 months ago we worked to get our pantry down to something manageable. We found out-of-date foods, triplicates, and more because it'd gotten out of hand.

    Love your blog (especially because it's pink! :)
