Let the organizing begin!

  Today began the purge and clean.
Amazing how much STUFF came out of my pantry.
Mind you Diane once said if she didn't have something she could always come over the hill and find it in my pantry. She actually did it once when I was on vacation, but replaced it before I got home. :-)

  Empty and clean pantry!

 How many boxes of crackers and cookies can one have......

 .......and multiple boxes of the same kind of pasta?

 The  clean produced 5 bags of compost, 

 and lots of plastic and cardboard to recycle.

When I put it all back I had one empty shelf, so I moved in the pots and pans I use on a regular basis.
I will try it for awhile and may make more adjustments.

You could come and clean mine while you are on a roll!

unfortunately, the real trick here in our kitchen is to keep it looking that way...

I laughed out loud when I read that comment about me in your pantry..Yep, it's true I was rummaging through your pantry, and i didn't even notice all that other stuff, I found what I was looking for! Diane

I think a big squirrel named Diane was in there! Bahaha.

We know where to go when we need a cookie...yummy.

That was a serious amount of crackers! Congrats on a successful pantry purge! We emptied ours out in November when we went wheat-free. It's so nice to have actual space to see things in there isn't it?
