Pantry Raid Challenge!!!
1 day each month I’m going to challenge you to a PANTRY RAID! You need to create your meal plan using items from your pantry. Sometimes it’s easy to forget the can’s of vegetables or the pasta sauce in the back of the pantry. So I challenge you pick 4 items from your pantry and use in this weeks meal plan.
My items – Tin of corn, Jelly, Jatz Biscuits, Tin of Salmon
What are your 4 items?

I “raid” every week, I can feed a family of 5 on $160 a week and we only eat healthy foods…… forget mince or snags, they arent even in the menu ever! Lots of thai infulence here . its heatlhy, its cheap and snazzy!!
Great l am up for this one …. My miss 15 challenged me to this about a month ago and l wasn’t allowed to buy anything and I was very surprised as to what we made and the new creations as my pantry and freezer were well stocked .
We always have our pantry very well stocked because we live an hour from a shop. Our freezer is always full to the brim with meat and bread and milk. Our pantry seems to be overflowing with tins and packets and we have our own vegie garden out the back. But even with having all of this surplus – we do end up with those tins at the back of the pantry that don’t ever seem to get used. I’ll go searching today – I suspect it’ll be tuna and condensed milk! 😉
I have to say that I hate cooking. My pantry is always full of staples though, just in case. I’m much more into baking. For dinners we have a few family favourites that I cook in large batches and freeze. One day I’ll have the courage to be more adventurous and challenge the kids…
Mmm, that spaghetti looks good! We love haloumi here. Any cheese really, but haloumi is a favourite 🙂
I totally read that wrong! I was wondering why you’d be blogging about a “panty raid”!! lol. My pantry has items in there so old, it should be looked at by an archeologist. My mother also told me, if there’s a tin of tuna in the pantry, you have a meal…and wouldn’t you know it, there’s several in there. Probably time for tuna mornay so I can use up those frozen veges too. Your meal plan looks delicious this week Katrina!
Thanks so much for your website Katrina – I love it!!
Your meal plan looks delicious 🙂
My 4 items will be:
1) Jelly – Mmm that jelly slice looks delicious.
2) Minestrone soup out of the freezer (use up before it gets too warm for soup).
3) Kangaroo fillets from the freezer that I probably wouldn’t have remembered if you didn’t prompt me to go ‘raid’.
4) And some wholemeal spaghetti that again I probably would have otherwise overlooked – the wholemeal variety isn’t a staple in our house unfortunately.
I also found some meat in the freezer which is past it’s best and I will gradually feed that to our big pooch over the week.
Thanks again … oh and my ceiling fans are all clean … looking forward to more cleaning challenges!
The choc earthquake cookies look yum. Instead of salmon rissoles, we make them with tuna.
Cornish pasties for tea. A bit of steak, onion, 2 potatoes and a carrot made with homemade flaky pastry. Yumm
Love the challenge idea – sounds fun. Woo hoo! I can finally comment on your blog. Love these suggestions for eating. Yummo! N x
I made the salmon rissoles tonight. They were really good, my 5 year old went back for seconds so a winner for sure!
Mmmm…that roast lamb sure does look delicious and if you were lucky enough to have some left overs, you can use that for the next day as lunch fillings! 🙂
