Bishop's Challenge

As you remember from sacrament meeting on Sunday, bishop issued us the challenge that we not go grocery shopping all week...this came as a complete surprise for us because we haven't lived in our apartment for like a month; first we were in Sandy for two weeks and then St. George, needless to say we aren't stocked as usual with food. However, both Ty and I felt like we should think of this as an EXTRA CHALLENGE so we are going to try and go the week without going to the grocery store. (we did thankfully purchase milk on saturday, but that is the only fresh food we have besides some leftover fruit from the enrichment activity).

I thought we, as a relief society, could bond together and make it through this--some will do it no problem I am sure--so comment away on what you and your spouse are doing to get through this week! I am going to post what I cook each day and if anyone else would like to as well, send me an email and I'll hook you up:)

Dinner--
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 can corn
1 can white corn
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can chicken broth
1 pint salsa
1/2 pkg ranch dressing mix
1/2 pkg taco mix
4-6 chicken breasts cooked and shredded

I cook mine in the crockpot and let it simmer for a couple hours. (1 hour at the very least). Can you believe I had all those things in my cupboard? Me either...here is our dessert:

My favorite Danish with cream cheese frosting:)  The secret recipe I will NOT divulge...sorry. But I will make one for you if you want to try it. The pictures don't give it justice.
