I am trying to organize my pantry, and due to the fact of when I can, it's usually 'shove it where ever you can find a spot' - I have done a horrible job of rotating my preps. I started looking at tomato products, and I have ones from 2012 forward. The lids are starting to rust, and they just look (and taste) awful. So I am pitching a lot of them to the chickens.
This month, I have decided I am not even going to look at the sale flyers. I am going to cook from my preps only and try to get a PAR level for what I truly need to store. I would appreciate any input that you actually use (I've seen the lists, which are great in general, but not always how we eat). So starting tomorrow, I will try to post what I am fixing for my main meals. I eat about the same amount as a 7-10 year old child due to medical issues, and my diet is terrible. I know this, but if I dont' eat the way I do, I'd weigh about 80 pounds. Anyone care to join me? For whatever reason - just the main focus being to use up what you have that may be starting to get a little long in the tooth and to avoid shopping until December 1.
Plans for tomorrow:
Breakfast: smoothie with yogurt, canned peaches, a frozen banana and chia seeds. 'Coffee' with protein powder, chocolate syrup (homemade), and half and half.
Lunch: fried bologna with pimento cheese, raisin bread toast
Supper: chicken tortilla soup (made with salsa that's looking sad, leftover chicken, corn and beans from the pantry) with cheese and sour cream, apple crisp (made with apple pie filling from....shhhh....2010).
