Half way mark

I'm halfway there!! Only 15 more days to go and I can go on an actual shopping trip!

I'm starting to get a bit worried though.  My cupboards and pantry are starting to look scarce.  It's a strange feeling to think about using up all the food in the house before going shopping again.  As you know this week has been vegetarian week.  It was a good idea to go vegetarian this week which will help push me through the next two weeks.  I still have those chickens in the freezer and the ground beef.  I'm running low on bread but I did buy a bread mix at Aldi on October 1st so I'm going to try to make some bread.
This week so far I've made a tomato basil pasta bake, vegetarian pot pie, vegetarian and tofu stir fry, vegetarian pizza, pita bread and chips, hummus (bought chickpeas last friday) and nutritional yeast baked tofu.
Tomorrow I'm making spinach quiche and on Friday I'm making some chinese steamed buns. On Saturday I'll make a broccoli cream pasta.  I'm surprised that Jonas hasn't complained about the meat but it seems like we aren't missing it.  
Sunday I'm actually going to roast a chicken finally.  I have a good amount of potatoes, onions and garlic left with a little bit of rosemary so it should make for a really good chicken.
I do feel like I've cheated because I bought that flour on Friday and I've made a few good breakfast items with them.  I've made some muffins, scones and pizza.  If I hadn't bought that on Friday I don't know what we would be eating.  Well I tend to eat bran with milk and Jonas eats toast with peanut butter.  We are having nice breakfasts because we have a friend staying with us and I want her to have a good time.
Although I will say that its has been really fun to bake and make things from scratch. I'm still learning how to do it but practice makes for good scones eventually.  
We will see what kind of food I end up making towards the end. I'm sure it will be odds and ends of weird combinations.  Adventures adventures...makes for strange combinations.

got a pretty decent puff in my pita pocket. 

pita bread and soon to be pita chips (baked)

Baked hash brown eggs.  (way too much pepper because I shook a little too hard) 

Looks weird because I didn't want to throw away the extra crust but tasted great. 

Legit chow mein (I'm taiwanese)



Nutritional Yeast baked tofu

Pizza (two ingredient Pizza dough) Flour and greek yogurt.  Google it, its legit and super easy to make this pizza dough, tastes great!
