Guess what today is? Shopping day! Yay! I finally have milk in my fridge.
Other than the inconvenience of not having any milk, it wasn't really too challenging for us. We usually do fortnightly shopping trips anyway, other than milk or bread, or whatever else we might run out of.
Normally I am lazy and I just give my children cold cereal for breakfast. This week I had to get creative. We had pancakes three times, milkless malt-o-meal once, eggs, sausage, and this morning, the boys begged for dry cereal. They didn't want pancakes again and we were now out of eggs and pretty much everything else too. So I let them. :)
I do have a box of powdered milk mix in food storage that I vaguely considered trying out. But I kept thinking, "We're not that desperate!" It's probably expired anyway. But maybe I should have tried it, so we would know what to expect if/when we are that desperate.
Milk goes in a lot of things, and so I really had to be more creative in other cooking as well. As a result, I probably fed my children healthier meals at lunch and breakfast. Ya can't do a quick meal of boxed mac and cheese without milk. So instead I'd make a potato, egg, and sausage scramble instead.
Anyway, I've heard there are better instant milks available these days. Does anyone know much about them? Let me know by commenting! Thanks!
