pantry challenge night

October 19th, 2011 at 02:11 am

$143 in chequing account now, because spouse filled up the gas tank. Not saying it wasn't due, eleven out of twelve gallons were replenished, but we could have made do with $15 worth of gas instead of $41 worth.

So today, as the roast was not completely thawed, we had Pantry Night Challenge. A southwest-us style cold bean/corn/red pepper/lime salad; lukewarm soba noodles with some homemade dressing; apple-walnut kale. And enough of everything for either leftovers or making more.

out of: lime juice, tamari sauce.
makes me sad to run out of things when the account balance is low.

I wish the lads were more into zucchini frittatas, because I could have made that! Later in the week I make 'em eat kasha and potatoes.

    I won't tell you what I substituted for sour cream in the enchilada recipe tonight. I didn't want to spend anything more, and it tasted fine. But DH raised an eyebrow when I told him...

    If you have dry powdered milk you can make a lot of things with it. It's a good staple pantry item.

    You have to learn to substitute in pantry challenge.
