Roe Updates

Pantry Cleanse Week!! That's the name of this week in the Roe household. This has been an expensive month for groceries so I decided that this week and next would be our "pantry cleanse" weeks in an effort to not spend more money at the grocery and to stay within our budget. So far, so good and it's actually been yummy! We're going through things in our pantry and freezer that I've had for a while. Monday we had chicken pot pie (used frozen veggies I had) leftover green beans and canned pineapple (the first time I've EVER done that) with fresh whipped cream. Not too bad. Last night I made Ritz chicken with sweet potatoes and spinach salad which the girls are eating tonight b/c Jordan and I are meeting a couple for dinner. Currently I'm snacking on a dip I made with some leftover cheese and cans of corn, black beans and diced chiles. Tomorrow I'll probably heat up one of the three homemade soups I have in the freezer. And for the weekend, we've got tilapia and pork chops in the freezer as well, ready to be made. So, there's actually plenty. Of course, next week is T'giving so we should have plenty of leftovers from that. I'm going to see how long I can make it without a grocery trip.
