People keep asking why my pantry, fridge, and freezers look like they do. Honest answer... It didn't happen all at once and there isn't one single answer. There's 36 years of undiagnosed ADHD and the years after spent relearning my brain during severe burnout. Scarcity mindset after periods of food insecurity throughout my life. And on top of all that, the way I shop and cook has never stopped evolving. All of these things collided into this as I struggled to find my footing in the kitchen and now that I have found it, I'm ready for a reset.

I've meal planed and made lists and they just don't work for me. I forget things and go off course and end up with ingredients I don't even remember what I got them for. I'm more of a go with the flow type cook. Plans feel too rigid and just end up causing stress when the plan doesn't go as planned. I'm excited for the time after this reset! A fresh start and I am certain once a month shopping is exactly the right fit for me and my brain and the way I function in my kitchen. #usingwhatwehaveonhand #pantrychallenge #onceamonthgroceryshopping
