Well what a weekend. Ryan has been gone all weekend so my mom came over and helped me completely clean out my kitchen and re-organize it. We cleared out SOOO many dishes, pots, pans, decor, cups, etc… Feels so good to get a fresh start. Everything has a place and it’s simple. If I hadn’t used it, it was gone. With that being done, we cleaned out the pantry and fridge.
So this is where YOU come in. I’ve listed everything that is in our pantry and fridge/freezer. My challenge is to come up with meal ideas to clean out the food we have. I’m very bad about using what I already have. We’re not very picky so any suggestions will do.
PANTRY:
Canned Items:
10 green beans
Asparagus
Spinach
2 Black eyed peas
Black beans
Light red kidney beans
Great Northern beans
Cannellini beans
Cream of chicken soup
Chicken broth
New potatoes
Diced tomatoes
Tomato sauce
Tomato paste
Tomato soup
2 Low fat sweetened condensed milk
Sun dried tomatoes
Sun dried tomato pesto
Tuna
Chicken (although I don’t know how good this is…had it a while)
Other Items:
mexican rice
taco seasoning
whole grain spaghetti
brown gravy
corn muffin mix
tortilla soup mix
risotto (garlic primavera)
chicken broth (big box)
Panko bread crumbs (italian)
handful of crackers (meatloaf?)
rice cakes
jello
chips
Regular pantry items (peanut butter, syrup, etc…)
REFRIGERATOR:
Deli turkey
Deli cheese (provolone)
apples (will use for baby food)
Leftover hot dogs/Brats
Lettuce
Velveeta
Cream cheese
Pancake mix
milk
Eggs (4 hard boiled too)
Regular fridge items (condiments, dressings, etc…)
FREEZER:
7 steaks (I think t-bone or ribeye)
1 morning egg biscuit (I’ll eat this week)
turkey sausage links
small lasagna
pretzel mini hot dogs
frozen veggies (carrots, peas, corn, asparagus stir fry, mixed veggies)*
frozen fruit (blueberries, peaches, strawberries)*
*will use a lot of this for baby food
meatballs (about 15)
spinach and cheese ravioli
tilapia
bacon
rolls
handful of tator tots
And there you have it! Of course we have other basic things such as bread and seasonings. So if you have any suggestions for breakfast, lunch or dinner, let me know in comments or facebook comment section. Of course we might have to buy one or two items to mix with the above items which is fine. So if you have a good meal idea and it calls for an item, I’ll just get that item.
Thanks. And hopefully you will get some ideas as well. Happy cooking. Below are the pictures of my organized kitchen. My only regret is that I didn’t take before pictures. 🙁
