Pantry Challenge – Day 12

This month, we’re shopping our kitchen in order to use up what we have so we can save money and clear kitchen clutter.

Here we go with Day 12 of the Pantry Challenge! 

this …

I have really enjoyed Sundays since we started instituting a regular sabbath. Bryan and I started this last May/June and it’s really been a wonderful part of my week.

Friday and Saturday I did little bits of prep so that meals could be easy and restful. I haven’t quite figured out how to scale my meal prep for the rest of the week to be as fun and easy, but I’m enjoying my Wednesdays.

What We Ate

Breakfast – This Sausage Egg Hash Brown Casserole is my regular Sunday breakfast item, paired with some type of baked good. Last night I made this Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake only I used a very ripe pear and some chocolate chips instead of the blueberries.

Lunch – A couple of days ago I pulled out ½ a large pork loin from the freezer. It was from 2023 ?. I thawed it and then prepped it for Spicy Pork Chili with Pumpkin. Getting it ready for the crockpot was so easy!! Definitely gonna keep this in rotation.

I also had prepped some mixes to make Buttermilk Cornbread. My daughter got home from church before we did, so she baked a batch for us to eat with the chili. I also had veggie dippers left from last night to serve.

Dinner – Sunday Dinner is a highlight of our week. I made a double batch of this recipe still in development. Instead of using fresh potatoes, I used southern style frozen hash browns this time. We’ll see how it goes.

I served that with the second loaf of sourdough bread I baked yesterday as well as a big salad. We had Portuguese Tarts from the freezer, a Costco find that is amazing!

How did Day 12 go for you?
