    Day 7 of feeding our family of 7 without a grocery Day 7 of feeding our family of 7 without a grocery trip. 👀

Layoffs are coming to my husband’s job, so we’re shopping our pantry, freezer & fridge and seeing just how long we can make what we already have stretch.

Tonight’s dinner: **[Marry Me Chicken over Rice]** 🍽️

Would you make this with what you already have?

Save this one for your next “I don’t want to go to the grocery store” night. 😂
