So my wife and I decided that for the month of January we are going to clean out our freezers and pantry to make all of our food from scratch instead of buying tons of extra food or eating out/in. I made a menu for the month, and I am pretty excited to see how we do! I’ve decided that Sundays are for soups (yesterday was butternut squash) and Monday is for leftovers (today was meatball sandwich for lunch and butternut squash soup for dinner). I’ve decided to write down what we spend to see how little we can spend on food this month. Wish us luck!
This week we will be having quiche, chicken breast roll ups with fresh broccoli, zucchini bake, pupusas with curtido and salsa, and meatloaf with potatoes and brussel sprouts. Apart from cabbage for the curtido, we won’t need to buy anything.
On a side note, we are doing this both to be good stewards of money and not to waste food. We both hate throwing out food, and since COVID, we have eaten out way too much (though have improved with this in the last 6 months).
Have you ever taken stock of your food supply? What creative dishes have you come up with? Let me know!
