Successes from Week 2 of the COVID pantry challenge

Posted byKim VPosted inUncategorized

Here’s some successful(?) mashups from this past week of the Covid pantry challenge. Got some basic groceries yesterday (finally), so we should be better able to transform the pantry items into edible dinners this coming week.

Hollie’s Hamburger Mac & Cheese and Pumpkin Spice Muffins fromfrom Zoom cooking night
Peach & Mandrin Kheer Pudding (see separate post for full details)
Bacon Wrapped Freezer Burnt Scallops with Garlic Chive and Dill Rehydrated Mashed Potatoes
3 Ingredient Peach-Blackberry Slow-Cooker Dump Cake (frozen fruit, expired cake mix, last stick of butter)

We also had a couple “okay” dinners – my kids keep repeating AT&T’s “Okay is NOT okay” commercials, but everything was edible/eaten…

Taco Bell Inspired Beans & Cheese
Sautéed Salmon and Tuna with Dill; Vegan Quinoa

We have a Frozen turkey saved from the holidays has been defrosting all week. Stay tuned for turkey and dressing (my Granny’s depression-era recipe)… now we have onions, carrots and apples again, so it will be almost like Christmas!
