After taking an inventory of our refrigerators, freezers, and pantry, I decided we didn’t need much in the way of groceries this week. We hosted a large gathering this past weekend, and not only did I make too much food for it, but people who brought food left the leftovers at our house. We have all kinds of odds and ends and fresh produce that needs to be used up at my house! So a quick trip to Aldi was the extent of our grocery shopping this week. AS far as meat goes, we will be using frozen meats from the freezer.
