Pantry Scroungin'

February 3, 2010 by Julie 12 Comments

During our early evening walk with Sadie, Ryan and I realized we didn’t have anything on the horizon for dinner. Uh oh!

Time for some pantry scroungin’!

I wanted pasta (surprise, surprise) but Ryan was in the mood for chicken, so while he unloaded the dishwasher, I got work making two separate, but equally tasty dinners.

My dinner:

Clammy Pasta Bowl

Parmesan Cheese Fo' Me

My pasta bowl contained:

  • Carba Nada egg fettuccine noodles
  • Marinara meat sauce
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Broccoli
  • Clams

Ryan’s dinner:

Chicken with Red Beans and Rice

Ryan’s rice bowl included:

  • Brown rice
  • Kidney beans
  • Chicken strips

The million dollar question… Which dinner would you chooose?

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!!!

    That’s a tough one, they both look delicious. I would go for no.2 but would have to add some veggies to it. 🙂

    Can you tell me more about the carba Nada noodles you eat and love so much? Does your fiancé like them just as much? I have a very picky eater of a boyfriend so its hard to find stuff that he likes but suits my healthy eating too. Love your blog by the way!

    I’d choose Ryan’s meal, which is a surprise because I’m usually a pasta-fanatic. BUT I just love the rice and beans combo! I’d probably throw some sour cream and guacamole in there too. YUM!

    I’d choose Ryan’s bowl! But if I could make some changes, I’d take the clams out of your dish and add the chicken from the other. I love the cheese and broccoli combo!
