Instead, I am posing myself a challenge: Eat only what is in the fridge, freezer or cupboard until my fridge gets cleared out.
I am not including fruits and veggies in this endeavor because I don't know how long it will take - and eating month old lettuce does not appeal to me.
For lunch I had the following ingredients to work with:
Broccoli
Carrot
Ground turkey
Past shells
Gruyere cheese
Spaghetti sauce
This is what I came up with:
Turkey and veggie stuffed shells. |
I browned some ground turkey with some minced garlic and then I threw in some chopped up broccoli florets and one shredded carrot.
I ended up adding in some shredded Gruyere cheese.
I threw the pasta shells into boiling, salted water for six minutes.
The shells stuffed to the brim! |
Sauced and ready to go into the oven. |
I think it turned out really well.
The dogs thought so too because they got to split one of the shells :-)
So brace yourself for odd meals ahead as I eat down my pantry and fridge.
Excellent concept! (and those shells don't look too shabby, either!)
ReplyDeleteThat goal is interesting, I will look forward to see what you come up with. The first meal here looks pretty tasty. Sometimes having just a few ingredients on hand can inspire you to have some winning combinations. Yum-thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge! I need to do that as well :) Best of luck and looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
