Adventures in Pantry cleansing…YET AGAIN!

I’m not sure what brought this one on…just a need for a challenge I suppose. I spent less than 50 dollars on groceries for this pay period! I picked up about 25 of that last night. I found Turkey breast roasts for .75 cents a pound! I got each of them for just over 3.00 each! I also picked up a sack of potatoes for 1.75, some sandwich bread, a few staples and basics, and some around the house stuff like trash bags and the like. Before shopping last night, I was looking through my kitchen trying to piece together dinner without having to spend any $. I found a few frozen hamburger patties in my freezer, some instant mashed potatoes (which is something I rarely buy or eat, but they were in the pantry), and some asparagus in the fridge. I decided to make chicken fried hamburger steak. ;) I battered the patties, pan fried them, and served them up w/the potatoes and sauteed the asparagus. It was remarkably good!!! Art was pretty impressed with it. ;)

Tonight, we’re having crock-potted turkey breast, and oven roasted veggies: asparagus, carrots, and potatoes. I’m also going to bake a cake I have in the cabinet. I’m really excited to see what meals we can come up with around here without doing any serious shopping…
