Pantry Challenge

A forum I frequent has a group of us that is doing what is called a Pantry Challenge. It was an idea one of the girls on the board had and a group of them did it last month. This month I am joining in. The goal is to use up some of the "stockpile" in the pantry. Each girl gives a list of what she wants to use from her pantry over the next month. As she uses items, they are crossed off the list. The goal is to use as much as possible from the list before the end of 4 weeks (so about a month).

The idea is you cut your grocery bill because you are using what you already have. It also will cut down on waste as the items get used before they expire. I decided to bring my part of the challenge to my blog.

Here is what I plan to try to use up in the next 4 weeks (starting Friday).

6 bags Knotts Alfredo noodles

5 boxes chicken rice a roni
