My No-Spend Challenge ends this week on Wednesday. I still have so much food on hand that I will continue a modified version for February. I do plan to do a monthly grocery shopping trip with Lisa next week but I’m going to set myself a small budget for that trip. This week’s menu features a ham and hamburgers, both of which I still have in the freezer. In fact, there are only a few items on this menu that I will need to purchase – head of cabbage, lettuce, whole chicken, potatoes and a baguette.

Hi Dee,
Your Ham and Beans sound great and you are right, the cornbread dumplings would be great with your soup. Hope you have a great week and thanks so much for sharing!

I’m looking forward to making your cornbread dumplings! Thanks for stopping by.

Mmm… Toasted baguette!
Some of the other stuff sounds nice too, like the cheese “biscuits” (we call those “scones” over here) and the baked apple, for example.
