Day 9:

Last night's dinner was SO much better, guys.  It looks ugly, but tasted SOOOO good!  It was very simple: frozen preprepared ground beef, frozen green beans, sliced cheese (that my kids hate, so I have to hide it in food to get rid of it), topped with potato pearls.  People ate and were happy, and everyone's digestive systems are no longer crying.  Success all around!

As you might be able to tell, in addition to using cans and jars of food storage, I'm also trying to use up all of the things in our freezer (Oh. My. Peaches.  SOOOO many peaches!).  Tonight, we are having chicken thighs that I dug out of the depths of their frozen home.  I might also pull out some... you guessed it... peaches!  For breakfast, we had french toast, made from 1/2 normal milk/ 1/2 powdered milk, eggs, and homemade bread.  Then, for lunch, I cooked up some frozen peaches from this season and sprinkled them with stevia while they were all warm and juicy.  I highly recommend this if you are craving something sweet, but are trying to not dig in to your chocolate chip stash (or what's left of your stash after your kids have discovered its hiding place.  I'm still bummed about this.). 

I think I'm going to start branching out of the books and going forth into the interwebs to find some new food ideas.  Anyone have some favorites they'd like to share?
