Pantry Challenge Freezer Inventory!

by Jamie on December 30, 2009

In preparation for the Eat from the Pantry Challenge, I set the goal of taking inventory of my freezer and pantry. Well, I managed to get the freezer inventory completed and I’m embarrassed to say that I had a garbage bag FULL of expired food! Eek! I’m so glad I went through the freezer because I’m determined to not let that happen again!!

Going through the freezer is going to be very helpful as I plan a month’s worth of meals. I see lots and lots of veggies in our future! My plan is to print out this list and keep one taped to the freezer so items can be added/subtractracted as needed. I also took note of the expiration date of each item so that I’ll be sure to use it before it expires!

If your curious what’s been storing in our freezer -here’s the list!
