My kitchen ate too much. I don't really know how it happened, but all of a sudden it's overflowing. There's absolutely no good excuse, because I have lots of drawers, cabinet space, and two, yes, two, pantries. And yet I can't get to anything, because everything is stuffed completely full. We have crossed the line between a well stocked pantry and an overstocked one, and why I have 3 brownie pans when I make brownies only a couple times each year is completely beyond me. My favorite serving pieces are never used because they're wedged so deep into the cabinets, and I keep rebuying pantry staples because I can't see what I've already got in there. A total waste of time and energy, and of course money.
It's time for the great clean out. I do this periodically with the kids' toys - I go through it with a big basket and get rid of all the toys that are broken, missing pieces, or generally ignored. Time to do it with my own stuff...

No new recipe today, since last night DH was working so the boys and I had our standby comfort food - homemade mac and cheese (see above picture!), with apples and pears. Mmmm...
