But seriously all in all you made a good effort.The bag of veggies are going to get frost bite. Spices would be a good investment and help the flavor of your meals. Keep it up, Dad.
I think the teen-age boy went junk food crazy with an emphasis on JUNK. The menu lacks nutritional balance. I would have liked to have seen more dairy, vegetables and fruit. I think some of your money should be spent on stocking a more complete and useful pantry. I would really like to see less reliance to packaged foods.
ReplyDeleteGood first try. Make sure you are considering all the criteria next time. Taste plays a very important role and I highly doubt anyone is going to want to eat unseasoned food.

Oatmeal cookies with that leftover oatmeal! Raid your mom's pantry...
