This season has been very dry financially; milk and honey are not flowing. But God is good to provide us with manna and quail every single day. And a double portion on Saturday.
All that thinking about food got me wondering what kinds of foods we keep in our frig during the summer:
- Milk
- Lemons to make fresh lemonade
- 1/2 and 1/2 for my morning tea
- Activia yogurt in blueberry, cherry, vanilla and peach
- Sliced cheddar cheese
- Garlic
- Strawberries
- Green Grapes
- Blueberries
- Apples
- Pears
- Peaches
- Bananas
- Spring onions
- Tomatoes
- Baby carrots
and in our freezer:
- Salmon
- Ground beef
- Steak
- Shrimp
and what we keep stocked in our pantry:
- Breakfast cereals
- Rice Krispies treats for day camps
- Potato bread
- Peanut butter
- Albacore tuna
- Spaghetti and sauce
What do you keep on hand during summer to feed your family?

I keep simple things on hand like tortillas, shredded cheese, homemade frozen waffles/pancakes/french toast and mac n cheese…a STAPLE with my boys!
Although I am blessed to have a food budget of $150.00 for 2 weeks for the 4 of us, I still try to come under that by making a lot of meals from scratch, double batching them and freezing the other for a future meal. Then I put any balance in savings! God is good :O)
