Pantry Challenge :: September

Today I organized my pantry and took inventory. WOW! I could not believe all the food I found hiding in the back! So I decided that I needed to use it up and what better way to do that AND save money than a pantry challenge.

I wrote down items that I had in my pantry that I hadn't even used, and then I went to www.food.com (formerly known as Recipeezaar.com) and searched for recipes. Food.com makes it so easy to find by ingredient, menu type, etc.

So, for example, I had seasoned rice vinegar that had been given to me A LONG TIME AGO. I have never used rice vinegar before, so I searched under ingredient and found Sesame Salmon Over Noodles. Oh my goodness, what a delicious pantry challenge meal! Even the kids loved it!

I won't keep you in suspense...here's the link to Sesame Salmon Over Noodles :)

Anyway, I will continue to post with recipes that came only from my pantry items. My goal is to not have to go grocery shopping at all until the next paycheck on the 15th. We'll see if I make it!
