Inside our pantry

We've tried various times to change our eating habits and eat better. We know we should, but every time we try, we quickly slip back into our poor habits. Recently we tried planning meals so we'd actually stay in and prepare our food rather than eating out every night of the week. But after the ingredients for stir fry and tacos sat in our cupboards and freezer for months, we finally came to terms with reality. Last night when we went grocery shopping, we bought only food we knew we would eat. Thus, this is our pantry:

You'll find seven boxes of cereal, Cream of Wheat, two boxes of Pop-tarts, instant oatmeal, and two boxes of Oatmeal to Go. What can I say? We like our breakfast foods, we even eat them for all three meals plus snacks. But to be fair, we also bought yogurt, eggs, bread, pretzels and a frozen pizza.

Good thing tomorrow is Thanksgiving so we can eat all the delicious food that other people are so good at preparing. Otherwise, I think we'd be having oatmeal and toast instead of full turkey dinner.

Edit: I'm sorry, make that eight boxes of cereal. I forgot the giant box of Corn Pops tucked in the back that was too big to fit in the line.
