Meals for the Week: Clearing the Cupboards

Sorry I'm a little late this week. I'm going a bit crazy and have lost track of time a bit. Summer kind of throws a wrench in the usual routines.

We're trying to eat down our reserves a bit this week. We've accumulated a few odd cans in the back of the pantry, a lot of extra buns and rolls on the counter, and sad-looking foods in the fridge. I had to do some salad surgery on Monday, tearing my way through the three romaine hearts we had to find the leaves unaffected by shrivel and browning. I salvaged three night's worth of salad for two, which we're eating in quick succession before it can go bad.
