My No Grocery Shopping Meal Plan
July 19, 2010 by Marci
Do you like to go grocery shopping? Me either. I am putting it off this week. I guess I’ll see how far I can stretch the pantry. It’s a challenge, but I like it. There are some chicken breasts in the freezer and I have some fresh veggies from our local CSA and my parents’ garden. Let’s see what I can come up with.
Meal #1 – I have a good bunch of basil from my little herb garden. That will make a really good pesto. Throw it on some pasta and pair it with some bruchetta made with homegrown tomatoes. Yum!!
Meal #2 – This honey baked chicken is good in the oven or in a foil pack on the grill. It will go great with some rice and steamed fresh green beans.
Meal #3 – Vegetarian tacos made with refried or black beans instead of meat. Serve them with some chips, salsa and guacamole.
Meal #4 – Spanish rice (right out of the rice-a-roni box – don’t judge me. it’s good!) and cut-up fresh veggies
Meal #5- Quiche is my favorite way to use up odds and ends veggies. I just use what ever I have. Chop ‘em up and saute them in a little olive oil. Then, add them to the quiche.
The rest of the week will be leftovers and a pizza night. I, actually, have all the ingredients for all these meals. At some point in the week, I might have to go to the store to get something. But, not right away!! I can even make homemade pancakes or oatmeal for breakfast.
What are you feeding your family this week?

Well done!
Our menus are SOOO simple these days as we’re preparing to move – Next week is our last week here and I’m declaring that an all paper/plasic utencil week so I can finish packing up the kitchen.
Thankfully several of our local friends are either taking us out to dinner, making us dinner, or throwing us a party in the next several days!
I’ll sure miss our friends and community that we’ve had the pleasure of building and investing in over these 5 yrs living here – something that if I was too busy, I’d most definitely not have experienced.
I’m seeing how far I can stretch the pantry and freezer too. Hoping I can last till the end of July.
Thanks for the heads up on that honey chicken recipe. That looks fantastic and I will be making it next week.
