We try to eat up the things that might be expiring soon and eat up some canned goods that I plan on making more of during the summer. In other words…it’s spring cleaning on my pantry.
You will need to start by actually taking a look in your pantry (or wherever you store food) and writing down or taking some kind of inventory of what you have.
If you can make recipes that you know your family already loves by just adding in similar ingredients or substitutions, that is the easiest way to eat up what you have.
