I was in the mood for something sweet after a long day and looked in the pantry. Canned pears….so I googled a recipe and gave it a shot! Thanks to this person for a yummy recipe!

January Challenge Review!
I meant to write this last week but it didn’t happen! We ended up spending $221 on groceries last month and greatly reduced eating out by like half of what we normally do! I really enjoyed cooking and eating yummy meals from scratch!
In fact, my wife and I liked it so much we made a whole plan for February as well! We figured out some glitches to avoid for this month, and we need to restock some meat but are also experimenting with non,meat proteins (lentils and beans) as well!
So far for February we made chili, ribs, macaroni and cheese, banana cream pie, and lots of leftovers!
What fun things have you made lately? Any experiments gone wrong or experiments gone right? Let me know below!
Pumpkin Smoothie
We have continued our pantry-emptying journey. This week we ate shrimp with wontons, falafel, soup, biscuits eith sausage gravy, and pot roast with potatoes and carrots. We have eaten out once or twice but still going strong with our cooking.
Tonight I made pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bundt cake from frozen pumpkin. It only required three cups of pumpkin and we had four so I decided to make a pumpkin smoothie. Here’s the recipe:
Pumpkin Smoothie (serves 1)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
- Sprinkles of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves
Use a blender or whisk to froth up. Enjoy!
Waste not, want not! Now my kiddo had an extra full belly before bed (he only had pot roast and a giant cupcake and licking the spoon…lol growing boy!). I sort of wished there was more. Maybe I’ll find more frozen pumpkin as we eat away at our freezers!
Anyway, what recipes have you incented lately? Tell me below!
