My family was spread out this weekend and I had to fend for myself for several meals. Typically, I'd get take-out, but, this time I resisted.

Looking in our pantry, it occurred to me there was enough food in there to feed a small army - for a while.

I made a commitment this week to no take-out, no fast food, not even a trip to the grocery store. For one week, I'll have meals only from what's already in our pantry or freezer.

This could get interesting.
