First step this week then : make your inventory, and check the expiration dates (don't want any poisonings due to our challenge!) LOL
Well I haven't done the inventory....my garbage is filled ...so will do that over the weekend....
Today I used up a bag of frozen veggies, leftover chicken,

Okay, I went through my cupboards and fridge and found these things that had been lost and forgotten and need to be used:
1 package of pork coating
2 small cans of tomato juice

2 individual sized cereals
a box of lemon jello

We'll have clean cabinets by the end of it for sure.

Welcome aboard! Good Luck on your challenge!

AGain , welcome to the board and good luck and have fun with your challenge ;O)
