Eat From The Pantry - Week 2

The second week of the challenge went really well. I made a lot of changes to our menu, based on what we already had, which meant re-writing several recipes. But it was fun and they all turned out pretty tasty.

Here's a little recap of how our menu and week went:

Brunch: ham & scrambled eggs with veggies

Dinner: Kung Pao Chicken {From the Pantry}


Jan 11
Breakfast: Cinnamon Rolls


Lunch: leftovers

Adults Dinner: Tacos
Kids Dinner: Mac & Cheese {From the Pantry}


Jan 12
Breakfast: Cinnamon Rolls
Lunch: leftovers
Dinner: we stopped at McDonald's for the kids, Seth and I ate leftovers - after a long trip to the airport, I didn't feel like cooking and the kids were starving!

I made Seth teriyaki chicken & broccoli and the kids ate leftovers.
