Making do...

I have been slowly cleaning out areas of my apartment - the closet, the craft room, the pile of magazines, etc.  The other day while trying to find an elusive ingredient (shifting cans and boxes around in my cupboards, cursing the disorganization), I realized that the kitchen was much neglected.  After inventorying the cupboards (a mini version of Trader Joe's), I decided to start cooking with the items I had at home.  To start, I made two loaves of pumpkin bread.  While they were in the oven, I started a nice slow cooker chili.  Even the UPS man commented on how great the house smelled.  I meant to take photos, but I was so efficient, I cleaned up before I had the chance!  You should see my cabinets though.  A little more spacious now...
