As If I Don't Waste Enough Time...

I started yet another blog. Right HERE. This one is just for my kitchen related posts. I started it more for myself so I could have a place for all my favorite recipes and links to those recipes, as well as links to kitchen blogs that I love but don't necessarily read every day. I am inviting you to take a peak if you want. This one will remain my main blog so keep following me!

I am unofficially attempting to do the Eat from the Pantry Challenge over at Life as Mom. This challenge is to make your meals with what you already have. For the above menu, I have all of the ingredients except some of the vegetables. I do not need to buy any meat this month, which should save me some money. Some of the meals above are from the Once a Month Cooking (OAMC) Challenge (also hosted by Life as Mom), last month.

The OAMC proved to be beneficial in some ways, however, since it is just me, I found there wasn't as much variety and I was eating the same things over and over throughout the month. It allowed me to be lazy which is not entirely a good thing. I think, for future months, I will still do one or two days of cooking but I won't over do it. I found I still had to make a few meals over the month that lead to more stockpiling in my freezer just to give myself some variety.

I have been attempting to do an entire month's worth of menu planning but as you can see I could not get even the entire week filled. I may need some help on this. It is harder than you think to menu plan for one single person, but I am doing my best to thrive.
