Pantry Inventory Take 2

In case you missed part 1, you can catch up here on my mission to clean through my stuff and make sure that I am using things.  I have already started my mental list of things that I need to make like jello and pudding from my first cabinet inventory.

I am super glad that I got to design this kitchen to fit a pantry at both ends because my old house didn't have as much storage even though the kitchen was bigger.  When designing the kitchen I decided where to put the different items, I was glad to have this room to store all of my more prepared things like snacks and cereal.

Again, there are four shelves on the top and four pulls outs on the bottom and this one is a little wider so there are two doors.  Although I know that I use it worse then the other one.  It looks like this:

This is what the top looks like after I cleaned it up which is pretty impressive because it was a mess.  I know that I have a ton of extra room up there so here is hoping that I can keep it clean.

I went through all my shelves and threw out an empty bag of oatmeal, bags of chocolate candies, container of cashews, container of ginger snaps and two bags of dried cranberries.  They were all really expired so I know that I should have used them a long time ago but they are now not taking up any room in the cupboard.  I also took out a few things of leftover chocolate that I am going to cut up and use for cookies to make tomorrow.

While I was doing my cleaning, I also was making blueberry pancakes from a pancake mix from the first pantry clean out.  I know why I didn't finish that mix because it was so dry that the pancakes were hard to eat.  Some things deserve to be thrown in the trash!!  I hope that this helps show you how you can certainly fit a lot of things into a small pantry with just a little bit of organization!
