Menu Plan Monday

This is my first menu from the “Eating from the Pantry Challenge”. Everything on this menu is coming from things I already had on hand, except for a few perishables that I may need to buy. I have also included our breakfast and lunch menu…so you can get an idea of how we are doing this.

Now, my meals may look kind of boring…not because that is all I had on hand, but because I am trying to watch what I eat. So, that means a lot of salads for me! After the holidays it really needs to be done. I have done the South Beach diet before, but this time it is the Katie diet…I made it up…no weighing myself, just eating healthy and exercising (ugh, no fun). I am hoping it works…

Did anyone else start dieting in January?
