Food Waste Friday(and update on my cupboard cleaning)

I actually didn’t waste any food this week, so instead of having a pictureless post, I thought I’d do an update on my cupboard cleaning from a week or two ago.

I didn’t make as much progress on using these items as I’d hoped to, but I was completely successful at using up my evaporated milk! I used it whenever I was baking bread or rolls, and I got through these three cans plus one more that was hiding.

Also, I read that Cooks Illustrated decided that natural peanut butter beat out regular peanut butter for just one use-baking cookies. Their peanut butter cookie recipe called for peanuts, though, and I had none. However, I just picked some up yesterday(at Aldi, naturally), so I will hopefully have used up most of the peanut butter by next Friday.

I wanted to use the Eagle Brand to bake something as well, but all the recipes I have that call for condensed milk also call for chocolate chips, and I had none of those either. I now am the proud owner of a bag of chocolate chips, though, so I have no more excuses. It should be a good dessert week at our house. 😉
