Do you ever look in your pantry and Freezer, which are full and think, “There is nothing to eat?” Time for a pantry/freezer challenge. I made a list of everything in my pantry and freezer and planned our menu around those items. If a recipe required me to buy more than one thing, I would not make it. I do no include perishables like produce and dairy in that total. I will not buy any specialty produce and dairy only the things I normally buy each week. Wish us luck, I hope to challenge through the entire month of June. We have a lot of chicken, so this might be old. We will see, there is no many ways to make chicken thighs. Here is to saving some money and getting my freezer empty enough to defrost/clean.
