Well pantryless isn’t entirely accurate, Heidi and I did bring a few staples. That said, we’re both the type of cook who relies on a well-stocked pantry to create kitchen miracles without spending a fortune at the store. Here’s what we came up with to enjoy the week without being a slave to the kitchen or putting too large of a dent in our budget.
- Monday – Pizza & salads
We could have ordered out, but the only place that delivers here is on the spendy side (14 for a large cheese + $2 for any additional topping. Yikes!) - Tuesday – Slow roasted bbq chicken (we brought the rub), roasted green beans, potato salad
- Wednesday – Patty melts, steamed broccoli, potato wedges
- Thursday – Brinner (that’s breakfast for dinner)
- Friday – Chicken salad, fresh vegetables, crackers, fruit
- Saturday – Taco night + fridge clean out
- Sunday – on the road again

I honestly thought this was titled "The Pantyless Week" on first glance. Then I did a full-on double take.
Me, too!
Hmmm much of my comment was erased somehow…I also said that your menu looks great, and that I can't wait for things to finally settle down with our move and moving my father-in-law back home so I can start planning menus for the week again!

how's the weather in florida this week anyhow. i'll have to book a resort down there during the winter and escape the near tornadoes we almost got this week.
Brinner – that made me smile.
I LOVE LOVE BBQ chicken. My family, however — sigh. I make it occasionally and force them to cope. lol

I liked the Brinner post too. We had this often when I was little (due in part to the chicken coop in the back yard). My kids enjoy it too.
I'm a day late, but oh well.
Monday: fend for yourself
Tuesday: tamale pie
Wednesday: stew
Thursday: dinner with inlaws is a maybe depending on the weather, otherwise pizza
Friday: sausage and black-eyed peas
I missed something–who's Heidi? Where are you on the road to/from?
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Heidi is a friend of mine, we're currently in Florida, pooling childcare / meal duties. It's almost like a break and it's warm.
Mine is worse Tinkerschnitzel.
(Just discovered this site and i think we will be friends for a long time :> )

Brinner can vary from home to home. We usually have pancakes or scrambled eggs. But, yes cereal has happened from time to time, too.
