AJ- I always use bread heels in my meatloaf! We don't eat them and my recipe calls for two pieces of bread broken into little pieces so that's what I use.
What else can you guys think of?
When I came home I found a big jar of regular yeast in the fridge as well as two half jars of bread machine yeast! Whoopie!
I'm going to bust out the dehydrator and dehydrate as much of it as I can. Then process in food processor to make powder.

Doing this destroys the water soluble nutrients in them, so do it only when you must.
Our local grocery store had yeast in. First time in 3 weeks that they had in so hopefully this means other stores will be getting some in too.
I know I'm late on this conversation, but I was on a hunt for yeast like no other. Mostly for a senior lady at church who asked me to find her some so she could make her own bread. Well I make a lot of pizza crust so I wanted some too. Well I couldn't find it, couldn't find it. A few weeks into the shut in and my husband finally fixed my pantry light. Low and behold right there was a whole jar of yeast and a couple packets. I'm like..okay those were not there!!! What this says is...my 50 year old eyes...can no longer use my pantry without a light on!! haha
When looking for spices, besides looking in the baking aisle of your store, check to see if the ethnic food aisle also has spices.
I've been having a hard time finding ground ginger and anise seed in the grocery stores. One of the grocery stores near me has a whole aisle dedicated to various ethnic foods. Within that aisle is a spice section and I found it there.
I thought I was fairly prepared and compared to most I am. I am not 100% happy with where I am at at the moment so like you will take stock very soon and see where I can improve. I might need a shelf in the garage to store items such as cleaning supplies. My thought is as long as the item has a reasonable use by date and I am vigilant with rotating things I should end up with a good stockpile. I don't ever want to face shortages again if I can help it.My fear is that this will repeat come winter or there will be something else and I want to be better prepared.
Create a spreadsheet (Master list) of items I want/need to have and how many of each I should have and compare that to what I have on hand. Each week when I go to the store I will try t pick up ad an extra item or 2 and update my spreadsheet.
I never heard of this but it sounds delicious.AJ ~ I recently bought a jar of Tajin seasoning salt.

Im thinking of looking at my Christmas menu to see what items I could buy now. I do not see this mess as clearing up any time soon. Hope I’m wrong.
