Sweet Jeanette has issued a Pantry Challenge for this week. I have a lot of food and have been trying to eat some of the older items before stocking a lot more, so it is perfect timing in my life to accept the challenge. The rule is that all you can spend is $5.
I went through my freezer and have made a preliminary menu for the week using items I have. Now, I am horrible at sticking to it, so it may change. This is more of a guideline and also to let me know we won't go hungry.

Hey Holly!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about people assuming about our state. I hope I in no way offended you...I love our home state!! We went to the winery in Calera...I've driven by it a million times and had no idea it was there! It was a pleasant surprise and we loved every minute. Thanks for the comment and I'm about to poke around here for a bit! :)
