When (You Think) the Cupboard is Bare

www.cookingbynumbers.com rocks.

The ingredient search on www.allrecipes.com is great also.

I know lots of people have great luck building up a stocked pantry, but we try to use up everything before we buy more. I have a hard time keeping track of things if I have too much. (Um, like I have THREE containers of garlic powder in the cupboard.) So I'd just rather clear things out every two weeks, then base the next menu on what's still in there.
