CraftyHope: Pantry Organization and My Menu

I'm just popping in here at the end of the day to share my menu for the week and show off what I did in my pantry.

Using these ordinary jars (from pickles, mayo, and LOTS of pasta sauce)

I made this section of my disaster of a pantry (don't judge!)

Look like this

All I used was some spray paint for the lids and some chalkboard paint.

I'm so excited about the transformation.

Now if I can just make the rest of the pantry look as pretty.

That's a challenge for another day!

Let's get to the menu before Meal Plan Monday runs out on me!!

Breakfasts: Cereal/grits, muffins, cinnamon sugar croissants, waffles, eggs w/bacon & toast, nutella turnovers

Lunches: Leftovers, bean burritos, pb&j, tuna noodles, quesidillas, turkey sandwiches, soup w/grilled cheese

Dinners:

Rotisserie chicken w/corn & mac-n-cheese

Grilled steaks w/sweet potatoes & veggies (not sure yet)

I'm off to think about organizing other areas of the house!

Later y'all!

I love how you turned a 'throw a way' into something useful! Keep us posted on what you do next.

Thanks y'all!
I definitely will keep you posted.
Of course, this has been an idea that's festered for YEARS and I finally got to it. Now if I can just get off my butt and give all my other ideas a try. . .

wow, that's a great idea! I especially like the use of chalk board paint on the jars. Our pantry desperately needs reorganization. One of these days....

Great job Hope, I love the jar idea!
To bad we live 150 miles or so from each other or I would be inviting myself to dinner on Wednesday night!;-)
