Out My Kitchen Window - No Spend Challenge Update

We captured this little falcon on camera hunting ground squirrels. This little bird
 tried to rip one of my six-pound hens head off. It didn't succeed, but 
caused some damage. Thankfully the hen recovered. It is a mighty hunter.

 

I've been working pretty hard organizing things around the house. As far as the no spend portion of this challenge, I wouldn't say that we have failed, but we can do better. We have company coming over the holiday weekend, so that will challenge our challenge for sure.

I have spent time organizing our pantry and freezers, meal planning and finding new recipes in order to use up what we have on hand without becoming food fatigued. I have been making pantry shakes from my homemade yogurt. They are a real healthy treat. I like to add oats and nuts for added protein. 

I found a jar of quinoa that I don't remember when I purchased it, so I tested a small batch to see if it was edible or food for the chickens. Sorry chickens, it was just fine. I also started a grocery list. The best time to make an honest grocery list is when you are eating through your freezer and pantry. Now I just need to make a menu for a fun Memorial weekend with our guests. 


Shalom,

Mrs. Smith
