Before A ‘Cha Cha Cha’

Getting close to half way through the month with this event.  I have a few drawers, cabinets, sink, faucet and the refrigerator freezer cleaned.  If that is all I get done with the kitchen side of it, I would say it is successful.

To be sure that my pantry gets equal attention, I will focus on that for the next few times.  To be honest with you, I really want to be gardening.  Looks like another cool week here in South Dakota.  May this be the last, please.  It has been such a long winter and I don’t want to lose my sanity.  I need it for gardening!

Today I will focus on the main pantry.  Please note that I have done major decluttering and organizing in the past.  This isn’t my first rodeo.  I have come to learn if I spend time twice a year in the kitchen and pantry, my year goes so much better.  The kitchen is where I spend the most time in and by having things in its place keeps me from buying too many jars of mayonnaise.  Yes, I was going through a period that I kept thinking I was out of it.  Soon I had 3 jars of it!  None went to waste but instead was taking up prime real estate in my pantry that I could use the space for other things. As I take inventory, I see my latest is ‘grated cheese!’

After Pantry ‘Cha Cha Cha’ (Throw away,give away, put away)

This was an easy one.  It took all of 1-15er to do!  I have a craving for tuna noodle casserole.  Found my cream of mushroom soup to be outdated so have to replace that and buy some gluten free pasta.  There are a couple other things to replace.  Not to worry.  I am headed to town to drop off my lawnmower for a maintenance check!
