Homestead Kitchen Challenge
For those of us whose cupboards are “filled to falling” (every time you open the pantry something falls out!) it is good to purge items every so often. In the interest of frugality and organization, I have a de-cluttering challenge for everyone (I include myself).
This week, I am using ONLY ingredients on hand to cook dinner. Because I have so much, I am being more strict for myself, but for everyone else, here are -
“The Rules”:
{ This is a six-day challenge (sometimes we aren’t home to use up stuff, or we have too many leftovers), beginning tonight.
{ You must use at least five ingredients you have on hand for the entire meal (salt, pepper and water do NOT count LOL). Dessert and beverage counts!
{ Flour, Sugar, etc. do count as long as you have used at least three other Non-baking supplies.
{ At least one ingredient per meal must be canned (home canned or otherwise…doesn’t matter) or box/bagged (macaroni, rice, beans…). Remember the goal is to clear out the cupboards a bit.
{ Perishables, like milk, are allowed to be purchased because they don’t stay around long (unless you have instant, of course).
{ Post your list of ingredients and the menu on your blog (comment to me, so I can find it and read it LOL)
{ Note: If you run out of ingredients before the week is out, GO SHOPPING! That means you aren’t a hoarder like me LOL
I started a few days ago and made curried chicken (from leftover chicken). Last night I made a wonderful bean and bacon soup, homemade biscuits and banana bread (Nobody will eat bananas around here unless they are nearly green).
TONIGHT:
From my pantry:
Canned Green Beans
French Fried Onions
Cream of chicken soup
Fresh Sweet taters
Frozen deer meat
(technically not in the pantry, but, still, it is on hand)
(Flour, sugar, oil, butter…etc)
Menu:
Green Bean Casserole
Sweet potato Biscuits
Deer meat
Sweet potato Pie
