Spring Cleaning time & Curried Egg Salad

Organizing, cleaning & taking stock

Spring & cleaning seem to go together right now.  While I am lacking sleep today with the moving the clocks ahead last night, I'm trying to get a little more organized all the way around. While cleaning my refrigerator I have been taking stock of what is on hand. Hopefully I can make better use of all of my condiments, beverages, etc.  I found that I had far too many condiments (What's with all the olives, I am wondering...more on that at in a later post.) I did however realize I had more fresh brown eggs than I previously thought.  It gave me a great opportunity to make a quick egg salad & even throw in some cashews which I found while straightening the pantry.  *Cashew nuts are packed with soluble dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals and packed with numerous health promoting phyto-chemicals; that help to protect against diseases and cancers.

What is in your refrigerator & pantry? Taking stock might give you some new culinary directions.
