Inspiration from the pantry...

Does anybody else's pantry look like this? A mish mosh of things shoved into the depths of a closet and then quickly close the doors so that no one knows that you may have cans that expired two years ago and pasta that has long since lost it's ability to become soft even in the boilingest of water! Well in a effort to use up some of my goods before they make it to that point and also to save a little dough, I've decided to base my meals on whatever I can find in my pantry!


Today's finds: dried mashed potatoes, can of mushroom soup and some corn niblets!


Add some seasonal local produce, (slim pickings in the winter!)


Some chicken and some cheese because what meal is complete without cheese I ask you???? And the result? A "pantry's take" on shepherd's pie. And it was pretty delicious I might add!


What's in your pantry?

  1. Hey Sarah! Great post - I try to use up things in my pantry all the time, but I always seem to find that I'm missing that 1 ingredient that would make the meal work! But you've inspired me to keep trying! Hope you are doing well!!

  2. I just zoomed in to snoop in your pantry:) Looking forward to hearing all the other meals that come from it. Wondering if the bottom shelf could be mixed in with the middle shelf to create something delicious?!
