Looking through the freezer, I have found more sandwich steak slices, and some frozen red and yellow peppers I sliced last week. We also have hot dog buns that need to be used. So, we are going to have steak sandwiches, sliced peppers, sliced tomato, and garlic to top the sandwiches, and mayo for the condiment. I have four corn on the cobs to add for dinner. For lettuce, we can cut some new sprouts from our plant that resides in the kitchen window.

Breakfast

The kids finished off the last bits of three boxes of "granola" cereal this morning....I was getting tired of looking at them in the pantry.

Milk.....

So, my neighbor knocked on our door last night around 10 pm, and asked us if we had any milk. My husband said only a half gallon, she brought over a gallon unopened, and two quarts of milk....I was so thankful.

We are going to have spaghetti for dinner, using two opened packages of pasta (about half in each bag), and a jar of Classico spag sauce that I bought over the weekend. May make some garlic bread for the side, along with some green beans....
