The high carb or high sugar foods have been boxed up to give to the local food pantry or relegated to the lower shelves where ‘out of sight – out of mind’ reigns. I threw away a lot of half-used things from the pantry and the fridge. I went through all the containers to make sure all was good and then wiped down all the shelves with Clorox Clean-up.
My husband feeds the dogs twice a day, and his only request was that I keep the shelves clear where he is working with the dogs and bowls. Otherwise, he just said, “Wow! You’re getting serious, aren’t you?” when I was about half way finished.
All is clean and reorganized now so that I can find the ingredients I need to make our low carb, low or sugar-free meals. I’m going to be trying to find recipes for the condiments we use most often if I cannot find good sugar-free alternatives.
Tomorrow I’ll start on the other side of the panty where we keep supplies. Right now it looks as if a bomb went off somewhere near… :0)

Thank you! It sure will be easier to adapt to our new cooking needs when we can actually FIND things. You would be even more ‘impressed’ at how awful the OTHER side of the pantry is right now… :0)

It looks very good, Linda 🙂
I thought, that I was in for storage of food, but I can see, that you do storage much more, than I do 😀

Thank you, Irene. We do this because we want to be okay in the face of ice storms. We were stuck on our ridge line, with no power and no public water, for 14 days one winter. Ever since, we’ve been serious about back up systems, like generators, and food storage. We have a well, so we were able to get water during the storm. I’m going to tackle cleaning up the ‘supplies’ side of the pantry today or tomorrow.

Yes. If I did it as often as I should, I wouldn’t have such a big job to do. :0)

Now THAT is a pantry !!! I love it !! I do not need a reason to be stocked, I think it is always a good thing, but can certainly understand your reasons, that can be a serious issue to not have enough food for up to two weeks. Pretty great motivation !!!
Looks great , lots of work but well worth it !!!

I love it, too, Stephie. Thanks for your kind words. I worked in the garden all day today, but I’m planning to start reorganizing the other side of the pantry tomorrow.
