Some years ago I shared a few posts on stocking up your pantry and cabinets for those moments when a storm hits or unexpected company arrives.

In keeping with my July theme of “Everything Old is New Again,” I recently found my old files, and combined my checklist into a single PDF download. How happy are we right now?! You can download your copy by clicking STOCK THAT.

I also themed out this month’s Meal Plan, thanks to my Happy Planner Menu Planner and some great washi tape and stickers.

January Meal Plan: It’s All In The Pantry (and Freezer)

Jan 3, 2014 | 5 comments

I could write an entire cookbooklet with all the chicken recipes in my head. [Promising Project No. 42, yah?]
