Pantry Challenge 2020 – Day 24
Whew! We’ve got one week to go. Ya ready? Today my eldest daughter and I inventoried the freezer. She has eaten vegan since February of last year. She wants to hit her one-year anniversary before she reassesses. I felt good doing the inventory so we knew exactly what plant-based proteins we’ve got on hand. Quite...

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 23
The end is in sight, folks! One more week to go! This month has been fairly painless — except for those frozen meatballs — and I’m pretty thrilled with our progress so far. That said, there’s still one lap to go, so we’ll see how this race ends next weekend. Today was a computer day...

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 22
After decades of Friday night pizza, we recently switched to Friday afternoon pizza. It’s been a really interesting switch in our weekly rhythm. Turns out we stuff ourselves at lunchtime so that when dinner rolls around, a light dinner, late dinner, or no dinner has been sufficient. I’ve planned BFD (Breakfast for Dinner) as the...

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 21
I spent some time with my GCE Club worksheets, thinking through my priorities for this month. Super helpful! Answering just a few questions on this worksheet helped give me the redirect I need for these last ten days of the Pantry Challenge. Why am I doing this? There is empty space in the freezer and […]

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 20
Another quiet day at home. Or in other words, I didn’t choose the pandemic life. The pandemic life chose me. Virginia commented yesterday that this doesn’t seem like a typical pantry challenge for us. I guess that’s a reflection of our daily life these days. The kids are all doing school at home. Bryan is […]

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 19
I wish I could report something exciting, but that would not be an accurate description of today. It was overcast and gloomy outside and quiet and chill indoors. Our meals for Day 19: Breakfast: leftover pancakes, oats, smoothies, or yogurt/Muesli. Lunch: Chicken Fried Rice Dinner: we haven’t had takeout all month, and as blah as […]

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 18
Monday is in the bag, and so is Day 18. The month is going quickly! So far, I’m seeing some space in the freezers which is pretty nice after months of things being packed to the gills. We have a hearty supply of proteins left which is nice to see. We should make it through […]

How to Make a White Sauce
This basic white sauce is the building block of great recipes like homemade mac and cheese or lasagna. It comes together quickly and easily on the stove.

Pantry Challenge 2021 – Day 17
‘Twas a quiet Sunday at home. I ran to Walmart for my grocery pickup in the am, put things away, made sure dinner items were thawed, and then worked on computer stuff for awhile. I had originally planned on Sunday Roast happening at lunchtime, but I got too caught up in work, so I made […]
