Hey everyone! I decided it's better to do weekly recap posts instead of a post every day. Here we go:
So, I didn't spend any money on food this week! But, I was taken out to lunch by my grandmother and I received a package of vegan almond biscotti as a late Christmas present. So "free" food did happen.
I have also managed to get myself sick. So I have spent the last two days in bed I'm drinking tons of fluids. I've been eating a lot of leftovers, things I don't have to cook, and drinking vegetable broth. I'm hoping that next week will be a little bit better. I've got a few things that are easy to make, but they're really spicy and I don't want to aggravate my sore throat. I'm planning to start using up my giant box of snack foods... Whenever I get back out into the real world instead of sitting in bed all day.
Be ready for lots of pictures!

I think the foods I enjoyed most were the pasta dishes and rice dishes. They were the easiest to make and very flavorful.
Also, eating leftovers has cleared up a lot of room in the fridge! I've still got way too many condiments in the door, but it's getting a little more manageable.
Next week I plan to start tackling my boxes of "instant" foods (instant noodles, boxed meals, and pre made mix kits)... I've got a bunch of those and they need to be eaten up before they expire.
I might have to go to the store soon to get some essentials like tomatoes/tomato paste. We are totally out and no one has gone grocery shopping in a week. With four of us here, we're eating through the fridge and pantry rather quickly.
I've got tons of bouillon cubes and broth power for making soups, and several cans of beans... I might make some kidney bean hummus this week! It would be a fun experiment.
Since I'm sick, I'm not planning on going out much, so I don't have to worry about eating out this week (I'm pretty sure that I got sick because I went out in this cold when I hadn't slept well the night before). If I go out, it will be to the pharmacy or the doctor.
Overall, this week wasn't bad at all. I still had tons of fresh food, so I didn't feel like I was missing anything. Next week will probably feel the same... I've got 4 veggie burgers left in the freezer, as well as mustard greens, peas, corn, and bag after bag of frozen fruit.
Have any of you done Shop Your Panty before? Did you enjoy it?
PS: this halo top dairy free ice cream is the bomb!
