Private Charles Lamb

David and I finally broke down at the farmers market and bought a lamb. A whole lamb all for us. David is calling him Private Charles Lamb (its a MASH reference). To provide room in our freezer we need to eat all of our odds and ends to make room. The fridge and pantry are also collecting odds and ends rapidly. We have initiated our Fridge, Freezer and Pantry Challenge.

The challenge: Make the most delicious meals we can by using only what we have on hand.
The rules: We may purchase fruits and vegetables (for fear of scurvy), and staples. Otherwise its what we have on hand until we can see the back of the fridge and freezer.


Dinners for this week: Roasted Tomato and Italian Sausage Ziti. 100% on hand. Ziti pasta, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, 3 links Italian sausage, balsamic roasted tomatoes.

Green Pork Enchiladas - 100% on hand. Tortillas, onions and tomatillos (from farmers market) shredded slow cooked pork shoulder, corn and shredded cheese (freezer)

Purchases: Bag of sugar, bag of onions, bag of potatoes.

We'll keep you posted on how we do. Sounds yummy to me!
