I’ve only gotten the corner lazy susan area and the ONE canned shelf done. All I can say is I have A LOT of tomatoes, sauces, diced, whole, etc. Therefore, I am making red sauce this morning to have an italian feast this evening.
Ready? Here is everything on the counter to be categorized …
leaf spinach x 4
new potatoes x 8
whole corn x 4
french cut green beans x 3
cut green beans x 1
garbanzo chickpeas x 4
cannellini beans x 4
black beans x 9

rotel tomatoes x 10
pizza sauce x 1
crushed tomatoes x 1
diced tomatoes x 7
whole tomatoes x 1
red sauce x 2
mushrooms x 5
sauerkraut x 2
And here it is, all nice and neat …
I also discovered a recipe which I’m assuming must have come about the last time I did inventory since it’s for black beans and rotel tomatoes …
And hey, not so unhealthy according to this
And then we moved on over to the main pantry and tackled ONE shelf:
Like I said, I’ve got a LOT of tomatoes … and they apparently are not in one spot of the kitchen.
and everything has to go on the counter …
to be categorized …
Here’s the shelf BEFORE …
And here’s what I found:

cream of onion soup x 3

And look at it now, a little more organized
Um, I did toss away a few things. Large, as in Costco size bag of dried cranberries. That broke my heart. I can’t believe I had them that long …
Ok, not sure what’s up with the picture, but it says September 2008. Yeah. A long time ago.
Also a few jars of fruit (cloudy and not pleasing to the eye, even though only 6 months past date), some hard taco shells, and a few misc. items that I have no idea where they came from …
I moved some stuff to another shelf (bread crumbs, rice, etc.) and hopefully when I do those shelves, there will be room and nothing else to add to THIS list 🙂
How are you doing on the pantry challenge? Have you done inventory yet?
