December Challenge

I definitely overspent on my November for budget. Between a couple parties and Thanksgiving, including a dropped pie, and a trip to Trader Joe's when I was hungry, and just not being careful, I spent a lot. So. My goal for December is to eat what I have and not grocery shop for the next 3 weeks. I am low on fruit though so I will probably buy a bag of clementines.

This is what I have to work with:
  • Oats
  • Barley flakes
  • Rice
  • some black beans 
  • nutritional yeast
  • Vegetable bouillon cubes
  • Frozen flatbreads 
  • almonds 
  • pumpkin seeds 
  • peanut butter 
  • chia seeds 
  • flax seeds 
  • coconut 
  • 1 apple 
  • 2 grapefruits 
  • mixed greens 
  • 1/2 lemon 
  • sweet potatoes 
  • red potatoes 
  • beets 
  • frozen mangos 
  • frozen berries 
  • frozen banana 
  • frozen kale and chard
  • frozen bell pepper 
  • frozen broccoli 
  • frozen zucchini
  • canned pumpkin 
  • almond milk 
  • soy eggnog 
  • 6 eggs 
  • a little almond cheese 
  • butter 
  • hummus 
  • curry simmer sauce 
  • salsa 
  • creamy dressing 
  • Vinaigrette
  • pickled charge stems 
  • lentil soup 1 serving 
  • tomato soup two servings 
  • sweet potato soup four servings 
  • frozen pizza two servings 
  • carrot muffins about 6
  • 4 pumpkin croissants
