cooking with stockpiles

Can I just tell you that food photography is not easy!

The picture isn't great. But the food was good!

Every week, I scan the flyers from the grocery stores.

I match sale items with my coupons to get the best deal.

I bring them home.

I have built up a stockpile. My cupboards are full. So are my freezers.

And yet...I still have to get dinner on the table. Those groceries don't just cook themselves!

This recipe was a great one, because it used things that I already had on hand. Things that I stock up on when they are a great sale!
