I made dinner in the morning on Thursday, as I knew I'd be gone for the afternoon. So this post is coming to you before dinnertime in the US.
As titled, I used what I have on hand for this past week. Still no grocery shopping in the forecast. Maybe soon.
What meals could you make using just what you have on hand? Judging from past comments, I think all of you could come up with a week or more of pretty great meals!
