Eating From the Pantry and Freezer Cooking

This week, our menu is based off of what we have in the pantry. I am truly going to try and spend no more than $13 at the grocery this week to keep us on budget for food and groceries! A great resource I use to help plan meals from the pantry is supercook.com. You can enter the ingredients you have on hand and a list of possible recipes will pop up! I love it!

In order to make this successful, I am having another mini-freezer cooking day! My plan is to make the following...

• Homemade Pizza Pockets (after the success of my pretzels, I feel more ready to try these
• 1 dozen Chocolate Chip Muffins
• 1 dozen bran muffins (store batter for extra dozen)
• Crock Pot Whole Chicken, Shredded (why am I so afraid to cook this?!!)
• Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup to freeze

I may or may not add to this list, but these are the top items I need to make. I will post an update on how it goes!
