In terms of full disclosure  I should probably tell you I like things really organized   I’m probably on the edge of having a mild version of OCD.  However, with the arrival of two little ones, I’ve had to loosen my control and things have gotten way out of control.  This year I vow to get my house back into shape!  My first project is my kitchen pantry.  While I was working on it, I whipped up these fun Valentine Breakfast Biscuits with things I found in my pantry.  Plus it kept the kids out of my hair while I was working.

Cleaning and organizing my pantry ended up being a lot more work than I had planned.  {Isn’t that always the case?}  But, I hate having a bunch of boxes of different products because they look messy and are different sizes…so I continued on.  I hunted and hunted and finally decided on some clear Mainstay containers from Walmart.  I bought them in stages for two reasons: 1. It would have been pricey to buy them all at once and 2. my Walmart only had 4 on the shelf at any given time.  I found equivalent ones on Amazon, but they were a lot more expensive.

After pulling things out of the pantry, I had a jar of strawberry jam that was expiring soon and a tiny bit of powdered sugar that needed to be used up.  I found the can of biscuits in the fridge and knew these would make a fun snack for the kids.  So I whipped up these cute Valentine Breakfast Biscuits in no time.

So back to my organizing…I used the Brother P-Touch to make labels for my containers.  It really couldn’t be any easier.  It was light weight and portable, so I brought it into the kitchen with me.  There were dozens of ways to customize the label, but I picked a basic font so the kids would be able to easily read the labels and grab what they need.  One of the best features is the split backing that makes it easy to peel.

What do you think of my newly organized pantry?  Much better, right?

Now, what do you think of these cute Valentine Biscuits?  Totally easy…I promise!
