Yesterday, my husband and I did an inventory of our pantry and freezer. I found 23 boxes of cereal, 6 cans of tomatoes, 3 bottles of ketchup, 2 bottles of vegetable oil, 6 boxes of oatmeal and lots more. Needless to say, I need to try and use up some of what I have stockpiled. (Let's not even get into the non-food stockpile--11 bottles of laundry soap!)I got on allrecipes.com and started searching recipes by ingredient and came up with some menus for this week. I really love being able to find recipes by just typing in what I have on hand. Try it some time!

AllRecipes is my go-to website any time I have to cook something...it makes things so much easier (and tastier!)
Thanks for your comment on HoT! I love that funky chair too. I found the same one online here.
But here is a totally different one that I'm madly in love with too! Perfect for a turquoise room!
Yeah - we just did a pantry assessment too. I did the Eat from the Pantry challenge back in Jan and have had a severe relapse into my old ways!
