Meal plan for the rest of January

We picked up our CSA delivery for the month, so it's time to plan meals for the rest of the month. I feel a little discombobulated trying to do this on a Tuesday night with no shopping planned, but I guess it does encourage me to stick with the whole pantry cooking thing.

  • Hot banana curry shrimp with brown rice & veggie stirfry


  • pork loin chops in apple-cream sauce

Apparently I am looking forward to unfettered shopping in February :). Edited to remove all mentions of needing marinara sauce...wow did I find a lot of that stuff already in my freezer today...along with things that have been in there for a long, long time. I might need a cook from the pantry challenge twice a year....!
