Thanks! I was never a big stockpiler, but I do pick up things here and there on sale and put them in our small pantry to rotate -- I do like a stock of baking goods because things like muffins/pancakes/freshly baked bread are godsends in tight food times and are quick to make (and tasty).

I don't know if we will be able to build it up quickly again. We have been supplementing with our stock for a while now. When dh gets paid on Friday I should be able to build a bit up again.

Thanks for your encouragement everyone

I hate weeks like that, but I think most of us have had them from time to time.

I just wanted to give you tons of credit for what you are making with the things you have- the meals sound yummy and well-balanced!

Thanks mamas. My random-act-of-kindness-mama paypaled us enough to get some basics for dd this week and I am eternally grateful! Dh and I would have been good on rice and beans and whatnot, cooked in creative ways but I was stressed because dd is pickier (she is not yet 4). We now have eggs, cheese, some more almond milk, and nut butter to supplement with. That helps sooo much.

Thanks for all your encouragement and support. I feel like that old lady on youtube who does the depression era cooking recipes this week.

Wow. That gave me the chills. It makes me so happy to know that there are people out there like that. And that you and your family don't have to worry quite so much this week! Best of luck to you and god bless that mamma who reached out and helped!
