My parents were here this weekend to watch our kids while we attended family wedding festivities, and while they were here, my mom cooked up a storm. She made barbecued beef sandwiches, homemade pizza, and meatloaf and scalloped potatoes. We also have leftover quiche from Saturday morning. We are STOCKED UP. So we'll probably pepper our dinners this week with some leftovers, and since I'm not going grocery shopping this week, we're having a pantry festival--dinners made with whatever is on hand. I still need to take stock of what we have before I come up with a menu, but I'd like to try this one week a month: skip the grocery store, the hassle, and the expense, and make do. I'll let you know how it goes!
And later today, I'll post my menu plan. See you soon!
Oh, yeah...

While the boys would love it, I simply can't imagine going to the grocery store every week. I'm pretty much a once-a-monther! (Except for milk, which Scott conveniently picks up every other day or so.) I guess I do a lot of pantry raiding when planning my meals! Kudos to you for schlepping 3 kids to the grocery store each week.
