I'm with you all, even though it's mid-July. Just came back from vacation and did a pantry inventory. It's 3 pages long! :yikes: Guess I better do some serious menu planning to use things up.
July Freezer/Pantry Challenge
I didn't see one for June so don't know if anyone is interested in keeping this going for July even tho it's been a long standing one.
I'm working on using up the older freezer and pantry items so I can restock with new expiration dates.
