It is that time of year where I start really thinking about cleaning out the fridge and freezer. The freezer I am emptying out more on general principle, but I like to completely empty and bleach down the fridge at least twice a year.

Plus I have been really enjoying working from what is in the pantry and coming up with meal plans buying a minimum of ingredients. And as an added bonus I find we eat more creative meals and less meat when I step out of autopilot, both of which are important to me.

What sort of things can you generally make out off your pantry? What are your pantry staples?

ISO Zuchini Seeds

Would anyone have 2-3 extra zucchini seeds I could have? I would really like to have like 1 plant to provide cintyber with zucchini blossoms this summer, but I am not sure that is worth buying a whole packet of seeds. I am happy to trade other plants/seeds, barter skills, etc.
