Looks good! I like that, “pantry shopping.” 🙂 I’m doing that, too, as well as some “freezer shopping” this week because we’re going to Lancaster, PA this weekend to stock up at some favorite grocery/health food stores.
Hi Angie! My link came up at the bottom of your post, so I got notice about yours and found you. 🙂 Way to go on using up the pantry! My friend Jill and I hold a menu link up on Sunday that you’re welcome to join. (Some people link theirs on Monday as well). Glad to connect with you!
