Pantry Creations

Joseph and I are really watching what we spend our money on. With a little one we can't go out and buy ingredients every night... we have to plan more (hard to do when cravings just hit). So tonight I went through the pantry and found some things to make dinner with. Than I went through the fridge and freezer to find other great items to mix together. What did I come up with? Check it out...
