Pantry Week. Night 1.

Since some of you have done this idea...others are trying it... I thought I would blog my experience of the week.

Here are the rules. No grocery stores allowed. If we don't have it... too bad. Must use what is in the pantry/fridge/freezer... and perhaps the orange tree which appears to be bearing fruit at precisely the right time. (A little manna from heaven if you ask me... cause you KNOW I need my fresh fruit.)

I will take pictures of what we came up with (expect nothing too exciting.) With the exception of last night. Night one. I didn't know anyone would really care, so I didn't really take any pictures.

But here's what we did.

I had 4 potatoes.

I baked them in the oven with lime juice/sea salt on the skin. (Baking potatoes in the oven is always an extra little treat).

Made fresh broccoli.

Made bacon.

Finished product?

Potatoes / Broccoli / Cheese / Scallions / Bacon / Pico De Gallo / Sour Cream.

Dessert? Orange slices & strawberries.

It was a HIT!
