Project Pantry Underway!

17 May

You don’t realize how much stuff you’ve accumulated in your pantry until you decide to use it all. We certainly take the mundane existence of our pantry for granted – consistently adding more and more non-perishables to our shopping carts without a thought about what we will *actually* do with those items because it’s on sale or we have a coupon. Yipee.

Well, we will be moving at the end of the year and I’m committed to not transporting any pantry items with us other than spices and seasonings. We began “Project Pantry” a few weeks ago and so far we’ve used 1 box of rice, 2 boxes of pasta (including lasagna which I finally made last night), 1 jar of tomato sauce and 2 small cans, 1 container of chocolate Slim Fast protein powder, and 3 remaining cans of Target brand ultra weight loss shake, and 1 gallon of water. Not bad!

I plan on creating a list all our pantry items and documenting what we’ve done with it. I think this will result in some creative meals, don’t you think?
