This is going up a day late - yesterday was super busy!
I didn't do any shopping. Instead I canned 11 pints and 3 quarts of cherry pie filling and 7 quarts of green beans. I also pitted the remainin cherries and froze them - 2 quarts and one half-pint. The green beans were from our garden, and the cherries were from a friend. I thanked her with some eggs from our hens - yay for barter!
Our meals were:
B - Oatmeal with apples, raisins and peanut butter, milk.
L - Hotdogs on homemade wheat buns, homemade baked beans, carrot and raisin salad, water.
S - Buffalo chicken wings, panfried potatoes and onions, ranch dip with carrots, celery and lightly steamed snowpeas. Butter pecan ice cream for dessert.
Snacks - PBJ on wheat (Little Bit), leftover pear crisp.
