Bare As Can Be

June 21, 2010 by Julie 23 Comments

Our fridge and pantry are currently bare as can be! Ryan and I usually hit up the grocery store on Sundays but didn’t make it there yesterday. Alas, my lunchtime options were pretty miniscule.

Good thing a peanut butter sandwich is always a fantastic standby!

The Old Standby

Today’s peanut butter sandwich included Crazy Richards chunky pb smeared on top of a Pepperidge Farm whole wheat deli flat.

On the side I had steamed broccoli sprinkled with garlic salt and Brothers-All-Natural apple crisps that I snagged from my parents’ house this weekend.

Monday's Lunch

Quite the random assortment of goodies, but tasty nonetheless!

Just One Second

Please take a second (literally a second) to simply click here to give a woman a free mammogram. All you have to do is click the pink button on the website and sponsors of the site will pay for women to receive free mammograms.

Receiving a regular mammogram is so important for women in the prevention and early detection of breast cancer. You may read about my mom’s journey with breast cancer here.

On the Menu

I’m pretty excited about what’s on the menu for dinner evening!

I’ll give you a hint: Ryan scored this meal for us on Saturday.

Any guesses???

Question of the Afternoon

What is your standby meal that you make when you have nothing on hand?

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    I used to click on that link everyday along with all the others on that site, but got out of the habit. 🙁 Thanks for the reminder, I am going to try and remember everyday again! 🙂

    We almost always have oats and cereal, so it is usually breakfast for dinner if there’s nothing in the house.

    Ugh I usually just grab a lean cuisine. Not the best choice, but certainly quick.

    For lunch, it’s always pb&j. I can’t whip something up at work, so when I’m low on groceries I just slap that together. Simple, done.

    My guess is FISH!! 😀
    And my stand by meal is usually veggie burgers- frozen bocas are the best…and sometimes I crumble them into spaghetti sauce- soooo easy.

    That site is such a wonderful idea- love it! My standby is a PB sammie as well. Even if we have no fruits or veggies on hand, bread and PB are two things I never let run out!

    My cabinets are almost always bare, haha. I keep the bare minimum of groceries around. Peanut butter always makes a good standby though. PB oats usually save me.
