A meal plan from the pantry

I’ve always cooked a lot of our dinners, but we’d gotten in the habit of eating out frequently. Well, we’re definitely not doing that these days. I’ve been cooking a lot. The big change here is that I’m planning our meals based on what’s in the pantry and freezer rather than just on what sounds good.

Monday: Tacos
I have some seasoned beef in the freezer already, so this is going to be an easy one.
Tuesday: Teigen chicken with fried rice
The first Chrissy Teigen recipe I ever made was her Lettuce Wraps, and it is still one of my favorites. I’m serving it with fried rice instead of lettuce this time.
Wednesday: Veggie curry
I’m going to use sweet potatoes, lentils and maybe some carrots.
Thursday: Grilled burgers
I’m crossing my fingers in hope that Aldi and Instacart will come through and bring me some hamburger buns later this week.
Friday: Pizza
Most likely from the freezer. I don’t have any dairy-free frozen pizzas on hand, though, so I’m not sure what I’ll have.
Saturday: Chicken noodle soup
I’m going to use the last bag of Krzysiak’s noodles in my freezer. I am equal parts excited and sad.
