Food Storage Friday

What do you got and What do you need?

Get a piece of paper and a pen. Go to your pantry. Take an inventory. Then go where ever else you have food stored and take an inventory. Separate it into categories. Grains, Legumes, Fats and Oils, Milk and Dairy, Sugars, Fruits, Vegetables, & Baking Needs. Count it by pounds (most food calculators go by pounds). Then check out a food calculator. How much do you have? Remember mac 'n' cheese counts in the dairy and grains :)!!
