Recent Pantry and Freezer Eats

Hey y'all,

It is weird to think we are on week five of social distancing. I thought I would share some of the meals I have made over the last month to help give you some ideas. I promise nothing I make is complicated and most are pantry staple friendly. I grew up in a family of six and learned to love leftovers and simple meals. I also lucked out that I received a Butcher Box the week before social distancing began so I have plenty of chicken and ground beef for making meals for one so I haven't purchased any meat from the grocery store. I am currently following the WW Green plan and if you have any questions or also follow WW let me know. I am happy to include point values if anyone wants them.

Breakfast

Vanilla Non-Fat Yogurt with Safe + Fair Birthday Cake granola

Pancake Bake. Take Pancake Mix and follow the instructions (this was a just add water mix) put in a cake pan and bake at 350 for about 20 mins. I served it with chicken breakfast sausage from Aldi and strawberries.
