Sunday
I made a pot of chicken noodle soup literally out of leftover items hanging out
in my freezer. I used up the last of a
bag of frozen chicken breasts and added frozen peas and carrots, corn, mixed
veggies and several containers of frozen broth I had been saving to make soup. All the veggies were little bits left after
making other meals. I also used up a
partial box of ditalini pasta I had in the pantry. It was so delicious!
I
turned five pair of holey jeans into five pair of shorts for my youngest
daughter to wear this summer.

I made
a point of using up items still hanging out in our freezer and pantry to make
our meals this week. I didn’t go to the
grocery store until Friday. We also made
sure we used up leftovers in the fridge so nothing went to waste.
On
Friday we had a family pizza party and movie night. We stopped at Fred Meyer on the way home from
work and purchased two Red Baron frozen pizzas (2/$7), ice cream ($2) and a 2
liter bottle of lemon lime soda (87¢) all for less than $10. We watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer DVDs from our
home collection. The girls thought it
was great!
On
Saturday my daughters made a wonderful dessert for the holiday weekend using a
cake mix I had bought on sale for 49¢, a box of gelatin on sale for 20¢, a tub
of frozen whipped topping for 74¢ and three of our farm fresh eggs.
I baked
a big loaf of whole wheat bread.
Our
chickens blessed us with 20 eggs last week!
Good girls!!!
A pizza movie night sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteIt really was fun and the best thing was that it wasn't a lot of work for me so I got to enjoy it too!
DeleteI think you are going to miss those chickens when you move!
