Food Hoarders Challenge

Awesome!

And don't limit it to food for recipes. Next time you have a sugar craving instead of buying something eat those chocolates that aunt Sue brought back from Mornington . Don't keep them because they are special. Chances are by the time you go to eat them they'll be off. Same with specialty oils, teas and other goodies that you hold onto because they were a gift or remind you of that trip you went on.

I can't tell you the amount if times I've thrown out a chilli jam or rancid garlic oil that I held onto because it was a gift.

And for those of you who are unsure of food spoilage times etc a good app is StillTasty. And remember used by, best before are two different things. And always label freezer contents (even containers of leftovers) with a date. So you don't get sick by eating something that has been there too long. I do this even with meat so that if I find that random bag of mince in the back if the freezer I know it's still ok.

And make a garden list, lemons from your tree (or someone else's), the herbs you have available. And if you're super awesome the fresh veg you have growing too.
