It is H-O-T here, but I am not complaining as long as I can retreat to the air conditioning. :)
I've taken a look at our budget, and we need to tighten up a little, so we're beginning a small pantry challenge this week - just using what we have, and trying to do without if we run out, when possible.
I've inventoried our freezer, and I believe we can go to the the end of the month with no shopping trips, so that's my goal.
Here's the plan:
Sunday~ HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! My sweet hubby will be away from us doing graduate coursework, so we celebrated with my dad (and mom) with burgers, cucumber salad, corn on the cob, baked beans, and banana pudding at my parents' house, followed by a swim in the pool. Not a bad deal at all!
Monday~
lunch: chicken tenders, salad (tons of lettuce, tomatoes from the garden)
dinner: chili
Tuesday~
lunch: frozen pizza, salad
dinner: chicken taco salad with tortilla chips
Wednesday~
lunch: turkey sandwich (ds), salad
dinner: leftovers (turn chili into nachos if desired)
Thursday~
lunch: chicken tenders, salad

Friday~
lunch: leftovers
dinner: hamburgers & fries
Saturday~
lunch: leftovers
dinner: sticky chicken, potatoes, broccoli or green beans, salad
I've tried to plan out lunch and dinner to save some coin. All these recipes use what we already have on hand. I will supplement with some baking and we should be in good shape!
