all lined up in a row. I am not kidding. It makes me so happy to see these when I open the pantry. I have more on order because I bought ALL OF THEM from all three area Targets (they were on clearance). Air tight and leak proof AND see through. I LOVE IT! Most of this is our new CLEAN EATING stuff, and it actually all tastes pretty good overall!

Target Baskets
I love these target stacking baskets. I have them all over my pantry. I even found more of the medium ones today and completed the top shelf in my pantry. Notice the Almond Butter... YUM! This stuff rocks and is so much better for you than peanut butter. :)
Eating Clean Cooler Food
In honor of trying my very best to EAT CLEAN, I have a spot in the fridge to place packaged protein and complex carb combos so I can just grab them and go in the morning. I love this. I just packed up tonights leftovers into portioned packs for the next couple of days. I lable them with the number of WW points and the number of protein grams so I can stay on track. :)
Yep, I did the Fridge, too.
OK, this might be a bit too far, but I love it. I cleaned up our fridge and labeled it all by catergory. I love it. It makes me happy to open it. My husband thinks I am insane, but it has been over a week, and it still looks like this. :)
Saving the packaging...
This is how I cut out and save the nutritional info and the directions for items I will use over and over.... I simply cut them out of the packaging and tape them to their storage container. I love how all of these containers stack. I love not having a mess of sizes and types of packaging.
Love the spice stair stepper....
This really makes a difference because now I can see what I have. Found this at Target.
Left Side of the pantry....
Here you can see some snack containers (I love to repackage things so they stay fresh... Neil is NOT a fan of this system).
A clean pantry makes me SOOOOO happy!
I HAVE HAD THIS READY TO POST FOR A WEEK, and blogger no longer accepts my photos. I have no clue why... anyway, I was told to get a flickr account and try to post that way... so we will see if this works.... I hope you can see my clean pantry!

OK, my friend just came over and said this is a sign that I have a problem....
I happen to think it is a good problem.
I am reading the book The Eat Clean Diet and I love it. I have learned more about food and what my family should be eating in the last week than I have learned in a lifetime of stressing about weight and food!! It is well written and very inspiring to me because it will not be easy, but I am going to clean up our eating. I want to be a strong example for the girls so they learn this stuff NOW and they can not have to worry like I have over the years.
So... onto the pantry. We are blessed with a big pantry. It started organized and was not horrible, but it has lost its true sense of order, and we simply had too much crap in it. I took EVERY SINGLE THING out yesterday. It felt GREAT to get it all out. Then, today, I got some organizers from Target, and I put everything we kept (and lots of new, much CLEANER foods) back in. I love it. I kind of want to sleep in there on a cot if I could fit! :)
And, earlier in the week, I attacked the fridge and freezer, too. I got new storage containers that all work together and that you can see through because we will become MUCH better at using leftovers to ensure that we get protein in between meals.... anyway, here are some fridge shots.
If you have struggled with weight or health issues... it might be good for you to look at this book. I finished the EAT CLEAN book and just got (used on Amazon for only $2.00) the Eat Clean for Families and Kids. I love it, too. I have the EAT CLEAN COOKBOOK coming soon. (also used from Amazon for $2.00). Even if I fail miserably at Clean Eating... I have a nice looking fridge and pantry due to my efforts! :)
Hope you all had a productive Saturday. :)

Full Pantry Shot
I am having a lot of trouble getting photos to post, so I was told to try Flickr. I hope this works. If it does... I think you will see a bunch of posts of photos of my pantry... then, I will go post the text I have had ready for a week while I struggled to get blogger to accept my photos again. I love my "new" pantry.
