End of Week 1 of NO GROCERY SHOPPING!
I'm afraid I was a little spoiled this weekend, and didn't have to deal with cooking dinner Friday or Saturday from our food storage. With Matt leaving, we went had to have a night out Friday, so we did a date night where we indulged in a little Prime Rib and Stuffed Prawns. Then last night, Matt went to the Priesthood session of Conference with Chandler, Jeff, and Matt's dad Shelby, and instead of the men going out on their own afterwards, Shelby told the kids and I to pick a restaurant and meet them there after the session for a dinner (that I did NOT have to cook!) Yeah me! Dinner tonight was quick and easy. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Luckily, I had just enough bread, the last of the butter, and a new brick of cheese. (And LOTS of canned tomato soup, since my kids LOVE to take it in thermoses to school for their lunches) And for dessert? Homemade Oreo Cookies. Yummmm. 1 package of Devils Food Cake Mix 2 Eggs 1Cube Butter. (called for shortening, but I'm all out...add that to my list of things I need to have more of) Scoop into small uniformed balls, and bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. I had leftover cream cheese frosting from my Fruit Pizza earlier this week, so I didn't even have to make that. For the mint ones, I just added a little peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Easy, and the kids loved them!

I have to tell you when we did a month of living off of food storage (in Alaska) we were just sad that we had ripped through our food storage supply! Perhaps focusing on building-up food storage is better than using-up food storage? A few days towards the very end of the month -- we snuck out to McDonalds! ;-)
Well, our priesthood leaders challenged us to do this excercize, so we were trying to be obedient. We're very fortunate, and have a very well stocked pantry with everyday foods we eat all the time. It is not uncommon for me to go a week or so without a trip to the grovery store. The things we run out of quickest are te fresh things, which aren't "food storage".
