Pantry Challenge - Scrapped

I have to laugh because I had great intentions to do a "pantry challenge" in February but in these first three days I have visited my pantry not so often! It's been one of those weeks where we've eaten with friends or out for a quick bite to eat. My weekly entries may be a bit boring so I'm going to scrap this great idea for another time. I'd like to thank the Southern California warm sun for allowing us to be out more during the week. 


This would have been my blog entry for the first three days of February:


Wednesday, Feb 1st: 
Breakfast: Cinnamon rolls at Mazda! Yep, Mazda!! I'd like to thank the City of Hemet for dropping a 1 inch screw into the unevenly paved road that my back tire ran over the night before. 


Went to a meeting at church and we were running late to make it back home for lunch before commuting to work so we stopped at Denny's for breakfast-lunch. My son and I shared pancakes and scrambled eggs.


For dinner, I stopped at a Chamber of Commerce mixer for the city of Menifee and ate from the Red Robin and a Texas Roadhouse (they were sharing free samples). We also ate Granola Crisps for the commute home. 


Thursday, Feb 2nd: 
Breakfast: Cinnamon toast with butter.
Lunch: PB&J with tortilla chips. (OH YES - these are our pantry items!)
Snack: Granola bar, fish crackers
Dinner: Kashi vegetable pizza.


Friday, Feb 3rd: 
Breakfast: Cereal and the rest of the home-made banana bread.
For lunch: corn dogs and tortilla chips (a staple in our home!). 
For snack: pretzels, apple crisps, raisins.
For dinner: we ate sandwiches with apple slices. 


Another reason I am scrapping this idea now is because I planned an all day affair out and about tomorrow with my son. We are going to eat at Red Robin because I have a free appetizer coming to me from the mixer on Wednesday and then we are going to the park and then we are going out for frozen yogurt. Plus we'll be sneaking in some shopping.


Perhaps I'll plan this for a time that we'll be home more often. Working in the evenings Mon-Fri throws the 'having a nice dinner' at home during the week nearly impossible. Sundays are typically reserved for a nice feast.
