The Weekend Before the Clean Out My Food Rations #Challenge

We officially start the clean out my food rations challenge tomorrow. The problem? We ate through a bunch of the food already. Remember that list I created? Here's what's left:

• 2 salmon filets - prepped and ready to be put in the oven
• 4 portions of chicken legs
• 1 box of frozen mini-quiche
• 1 box of frozen cheese tortellini
• 1 box of mac and cheese bites
• 1 box of breaded (and frozen) green beans
• 2 bags of frozen potatoes
• 1 bag of frozen yams
• 3 bags of frozen veggies (all varieties)
• 1/2 salami
• 1 package of pastrami
• 12 eggs
• 7 bagels
• 1 package of tuna
• 3 bags of shredded cheese (all varieties)
• 1 block of special cheese
• 1/2 box of pasta
• 1/2 jar of tomato sauce
• 1 can of mushroom barley soup
• 1 package of matzo stuffing
• 1 jar of Israeli coucous
• 2 boxes of rice pilaf
• 1 package of mjadra (sp?)
• 1 package of latka mix
• 1 canister of matzo meal
• A few bags of chips, pretzels, popcorn, granola bars, snacks, cereal bars, and other oddities that make up our cabinet.

We ate through a bunch of other stuff that I accidentally left off this list. BUT I bought the following over the weekend:

• 10 yogurts
• 5 apples
• 1 butternut squash
• 2 potatoes
• 2 sweet potatoes
• 1 loaf of bread
• 1lb. of carrots
• 1 large cucumber
• dill
• 1 clove of garlic

Downside: 2 of the apples, half of the squash, all of the potatoes and carrots, and the garlic wound up in a delish soup I made. There was SO much soup that I wound up with A LOT of it in my freezer. So, maybe that's an upside?

I already made Yoav's lunch for tomorrow, so here's a picture:

What's in it?

• 1 chicken finger and a few french fries (from today's lunch)
• a cereal bar
• 1 yogurt
• a cheese stick
• tortilla chips
• veggie pals
• juice
• mixed berry oats (in the pouch - and I made it myself!!)

I know that most of it will come home (or wind up in the trash) - his daycare doesn't keep leftovers - but I like to give him options.

Tonight's dinner  (a pasta bake!) will be in Craig's lunch tomorrow - so make sure to follow him on Instagram. You can follow me, too, while you're at it!
