Eat from the Pantry/Freezer Challenge weekly update

How are you doing with this Eat from your Pantry/Freezer Challenge. So far so good here! I did go to the store (already), hadn't planned to go that early into the challenge, but I did. I had posted earlier my menu but I have wavered from that some---but that is okay---right because it is my rules. I went ahead and had the Baked Ziti, and Tator Tot Casserole . I ended up NOT having chicken and dressing. I have made chicken and dressing several times before, but this time I cooked my chicken too long, not only was it falling off the bone it was MUSH! That was the night I bombed dinner, I went a head and served the chicken with peas and mac and cheese. The kids loved the chicken, (gag) my husband just laughed because I was getting sick---it was horrible. I made the kids quit eating the chicken and I threw it away. I should probably put that under a frugal failure!

* I ended up making soup last night and we actually had left overs (pictured below); so we are having soup again tonight. I have never served the same dinner in a row before. I will be adding some more vegetable juice, more canned vegetables (drained), meat, and garlic---I love garlic in my soup!

For dessert it will be peach cobbler (YUM!).

Tomorrow I will be broiling chicken and serving broccoli and cantaloupe on the side.
