Well hello there, sorry I've been away so long, I'm trying to get my life back, or at least something that closely resembles my life! since I have barely left my house in over a month, my dear hubs is still recovering at home and needs my help I decided I better get busy and start cleaning out my pantry, slash stash any everything......do any of you have a space like, I wish this was the only one, my laundry room regularly collects things besides dirty clothes!
I hate to admit that it took me almost all day to sort through everything, what do you mean canned food has a shelf life Yikes!!!!! I felt so guilty and wasteful, this was a good lesson though.....I have been cooking out of my pantry for over a week, just to make sure I use whats in there, what a savings in my grocery bill, wow just try only cooking out of your pantry and see how creative you can be, it is truly astounding, what you have, and how little you spend at the grocery store when you only have to buy fresh produce and dairy......
Heres a little peek, it's not perfect but it is a ton better than before, at least I can see what I've got and it's tidy, I live in a very small house so storage and organization is at a premium, after tackling this I have been inspired to go through some kitchen cabinets and drawers, it's like a new beginning a fresh start!
Hope you feel some new found energy to go through your own pantry!
Tracey
Glad to see you back! Hope things are going better. And....what a terrific pantry, I'm jealous!!

I love your pantry! I did ours last year...it was so liberating! Yes, I discovered canned food does go bad too. Had to throw out way too much!

It is looking good. I know I have to go thru mine too, but it is too gorgeous outside today to even attempt that. Think I will do some gardening instead. Ok, weeding actually. LOL

Tracey,
Welcome back - we've missed you!
Your pantry looks great and so organized! I just recently had an addition built onto my kitchen enabling me to add two pantries - one for canned goods, etc. and the other for china, etc. I can't imagine how I managed for so long without them!

Your pantry looks great Tracey. You have inspired me to clean mine. It doesn't have doors, so I really need to do something. My carpenter husband has never seen the need to finish my doors. I like the wire baskets in yours. And yes, it is good to have you back posting. Keep it coming.

Looks great, need to clean mine, but when I do it never stays clean for long with my kids.

Good for you Trace! I need to do mine too, you have inspired me. I did kind of the same thing with my freezer not long ago. Cleaned it out, organized it and decided I was not going to buy another piece of meat, frozen dinner, pizza, etc., etc., etc., until I had used EVERYTHING in there. I did'nt have to go to the store for ages! Talk about a savings! Your pantry looks beautiful, keep blogging! I love you, Mom

Looks fab. Love the sign on the door. When I painted my kitchen (that gorgeous red color I stole from your dining room)decided to paint our panty the same color and it looks great. Have like a double door barn wood doors(log cabin). My delimna my husband cooks also(not so much since I have been so inspired by all of the blogs) he buys spices and I am embarassed to say maybe close to 100(yes we have a large pantry) so I put some on the shelves and the rest in wire basket. Also did my cupboards in pretty paper. And for my linen closet used that pretty lace for the trim. Now if I can just keep it that way!

Oh Tracey just made a banana bread for my neighbor and thinking about you and yours. Read a great book about baking A Homemade Life? (blog orangette) but she has about 4 recipes for the bread and says she freezes them. I did and they look brown and yucky but cut off the end and squeeze it out it is like baby food and makes great bread.
