    Happy Sunday! Can you believe we are in the last week of the Pantry Challenge? That went fast.

    Thank you to everyone who has participated and left comments. Let’s finish strong, shall we?

    What We Ate

    Breakfast – This Sunday morning was a fend-for-yourself kind of morning. I baked sourdough bread late last night so that was in the mix as well as some deli ham, eggs, etc. I made a breakfast sandwich.

    Lunch – We had a variety of leftover pizza, leftover chicken pot pie, leftover chicken, and sandwich stuff.

    Dinner – Last night I cooked 3 pounds of this Versatile Meat Mixture into meatballs. I reheated them and served them in Mediterranean Bowls: lettuce, whatever veg we had, garbanzo beans, quinoa, feta, and Greek Yogurt Salad Dressing. So yummy!

    How did Day 25 go for you?

      Today I went hiking with a friend. We usually go every Sunday in the fall/winter but we haven’t gone since before Christmas due to rain and other plans. We usually grab something to eat after we are done.

      B- coffee
      L- turkey and Brie sandwich and a cup of clam chowder
      D- hamburger, brown rice and roasted cherry tomato dish
