Food Pantry End of Week Report 4/15

Here is what we did with the items from this week's food pantry haul.


Sunday: Was a bit under the weather today from overdoing it yesterday. Ate some of the saltines as a part of dinner. Had Minute Rice {previous Food Pantry item} with lunch.

Monday: Chicken Sausages for lunch, along with hot dog buns {from the previous week's box}. Made the broccoli and carrots to go along with for veggies. Dinner was leftover sausages for my daughter, and I had fish {non pantry item}. We both had Alfredo to go with {non pantry items} and canned veggies {previous pantry item}.

Tuesday:Potato soup, using part of the potatoes we got. I would say it probably used about 4lbs of potatoes. Served with bread from a previous visit & butter.

Wednesday: Bread from previous pantry haul. Leftover potato soup. Wednesday night was a bit of a wreck here - we had a massive hail storm that knocked out 3 windows and damaged our roof. So meals were a bit off.

Thursday: Bread from previous pantry haul {made french toast}. Daughter had the can of Chef Boyardee Mini Ravoli for dinner, and I had the last of the potato soup.

Friday:

Saturday: Tried to have one of the Protein shakes for breakfast, but discovered they had gone bad {expired December 2015}. Daughter had a couple of the burritos for dinner.


The unsweetened applesauce will be made into apple butter at the start of next month. We all love apple butter on toast so it's a great way to use that up, but it works best when we have more mouths to eat it all before it spoils, so I try to do that on months when my daughter's friends are here. The half & half I don't tend to use, so instead we attempted to make it into homemade butter which we love. Unfortunately it didn't end up working well, so now I know for next time. I didn't have anything to lose by trying though, as it was on edge anyways.

Daughter has eaten all the Rice Krispies treats, the pork rinds and drank the bottle of Pepsi. She has also eaten several of the yogurts for breakfasts and snacks.

The spinach went into the compost pile. It wasn't salvageable. As soon as we get chickens, items like this will become chicken feed. The coffee is also being held for when we have chickens - coffee mixed with compost attracts a particular type of grub that chicken LOVE. Since I can't really drink coffee, I'll soak the grounds and put them into a separate bin with compost to make food for the chickens.

Everything with an * that we can't use is being held for another week or two while I fill up bags to trade, as previously discussed.
