When I got home last night, I took the plunge and took inventory of my freezer and pantry. The following horrid list is what I have to eat from beginning Friday. The amount of food is definitely enough to feed us for the month, especially with the kiddos at their dad's for two weeks. This list does not include food that is already unpackaged and sitting in the snack cabinet or the breakfast cabinet. This is only food that is unopened and stored.
