help me clean out my pantry

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I didn't get to the market this week, and I badly need to clean out my pantry anyway...  can you help me think of some ideas/recipes to use what I have on hand...

 

Here's what my pantry has:

grains:  brown rice, quinoa, millet (very little whole wheat flour, but I do have some I could grind into flour), oats ... misc bits of other grains (i think i have some spelt, amaranth... stuff I bought to try for one recipe and haven't used since), teff flour, potato flour

nutritional yeast, baking powder/soda,

 

beans:  garbanzo, black, red in cans...some navy, black and pinto dried

other cans:  1 can tomatoes, artichoke hearts, tahini, pineapple, coconut milk, massaman curry paste(which no one but me likes)

 

nuts: almonds (lots), cashews, walnuts, pecans, pine nuts

seeds:  sesame, pumpkin, sunflower

 

1 lb pasta, a few lbs spaghetti

 

misc sauces/condiments(tamari, molasses, agave nectar, lots of different vinegars, salt, who knows what else is up there)

 

misc dried fruit --figs and prunes (NO clue what to do with these... no one really likes them plain... if anyone has a sauce you make out of them that would be GREAT!)

 

I don't cook meat, and I try to limit dairy... we have lots of almond milk...

 

I also have onions, garlic, and some potatoes... lots of frozen green beans, artichoke hearts, 1 bag asparagus spears, 1/2 bag frozen broccoli, peas, pearl onions, and mango.

 

So... if thats what you had to work with... what would you make?  I probably have a few other odds and ends, and I do need to run out today so could pick up a few small things, but I'd like to try and make it til Saturday when I'll do my stock up run to Trader Joes and refill the freezer...   

 

thanks so much!! lately I've been in such a rut...
