Pantry Weekend

This weekend I finally got around to cleaning out my pantry because I was running out of room to store things. I threw out any expired food items I found, donated a bag things to the food pantry, and the rest I decided to cook up to eat! (Gee, I wonder why I didn't do this sooner?) 

This bread is a Beer Bread mix that I bought at a home party a while back. There's something about the smell of baking bread in the fall. Tomorrow I'm going to make a pot of soup to go along with the bread. 

This morning I decided to make a veggie omelet using some of the green peppers my daughter gave me from her garden. 

And I found a box of hash brown potatoes in the pantry, so I cooked them up to go along with the eggs.

In the summer I like to keep a package of pasta salad mix on hand to make a quick side dish when it's warm outside. Well, I found TWO packages in the pantry, so I prepared both of them to serve with my lunches and dinners for the next few days. In fact, this will taste great with the leftover panko-breaded tilapia and sweet potato that I'm having for dinner tonight. So what are you serving for dinner tonight?

Instagram Wednesday

I've been working on this project this week. Cleaning and reorganizing my closet. It's one of those projects that I've been putting off for a ridiculously long time. My clothes are happy they can breathe again and not be squeezed together in the closet so tightly. Now I have piles of clothes laying on the floor waiting to be taken to Goodwill for donation. I'm going to take a few items to the consignment store to try my luck at selling them there. Have any of you had any success with consignment shops?
