Pantry Challenge
« Previous Entries Saturday, February 3rd, 2007Pantry Challenge - The End (Day 18)
So my participation in the Pantry Challenge has ended. Last night I made an interesting meal of brats simmered in beer (no buns), curried sweet potato fries, and pumpkin pie (which caused Emma to literally shout and dance for joy). Yes, there is still a lot of food in my house. […]
Friday, February 2nd, 2007Pantry Challenge Days 15-16
So we continue. Actually I think we are at the end. The last couple of days have been interesting foodwise. I’ve been sick and have no energy to cook creative stuff and we are all out of the easy stuff. I’m craving salad and Emma’s begging for bananas and we’re hosting […]
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007Pantry Challenge Day 14
And so we continue… Emma’s been asking for bananas. I don’t know if she really wants bananas or if that is just one of the food words she actually knows. It’s hard to tell sometimes. For awhile she was calling “ice cream” “soup”, so it can get confusing. (and for those […]
Monday, January 29th, 2007Pantry Challenge Day 13
So we’re still attempting to do the whole pantry challenge thing. It feels weird having gone away for a few days to jump back into it. My sister-in-law apparently survived at our house watching Emma on what was left (I’m assuming mac n’ cheese and the like). We went to the store […]
Saturday, January 27th, 2007Update - life, travel, pantry…
So I’m in Oregon for the weekend at the NW Emerging Women Leaders Gathering. So far its been great and I’m meeting some wonderful people. I’ve been posting blog updates over at Emerging Women.
So for the pantry update… Mike went to a denominational gathering so Emma got left at home with […]
Pantry Challenge Days 9
So the pantry experiment continues. I spent some time today cleaning out my fridge of the stuff that is a little too scary to even try to eat. I like to buy all natural and organic foods, but with no added preservatives, they just don’t last very long. I know I will […]
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007Pantry Challenge Days 7 &8
So it’s been a full week already. Stuff is going faster than I thought it would. I sent Mike to the store for milk. With our milk-processing machine named Emma we go through a lot of it. I can’t help but think of how the scarcity of milk played such a […]
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007Pantry Challenge Day 6
So I didn’t get around to posting last night, we got home rather late from our emergent cohort meeting (up-rooted). But day 6 of the Pantry Challenge came and went. Still going strong - mostly out of fresh veggies and leftover, so things should start getting more creative from here.
BreakfastJulie - coffeeMike - […]
Pantry Challenge Days 4 & 5
So it’s the weekend - our crazy time and this weekend was even crazier because it’s Emma’s second birthday (see separate post). Mike’s parents came into town and we threw a birthday party for 30 people. So as per my aforementioned rulebreaking, I went to the store. But I did my best […]
Friday, January 19th, 2007Pantry Challenge Day 3
So here are the pictures of my fridge and pantry. Scary right. So much of it is 90% finished jars of whatever left at my house after some church function. I don’t want to waste it, but so often I do just that. I don’t make the point of eating […]

Pantry Challenge Day 1
Okay so day one of the Pantry Challenge… There isn’t much to blog about yet, nothing reallys happened yet. Our pantry and fridge are still very full. I think I should take a picture and post how scary they look. But to post what we did eat today (and I’m sure it […]
