Secretly, I am hoping to win @goldendawne's #messypantry contest so I can prove to Mr. Canadian Renegade that my messy tendencies really do pay off.
'Messy Pantry' font credit: Flat-it
When Matthew told me there was a pantry contest my first inclination was to tidy up and restock our healthiest items but then we got to the rules: DO NOT organize it! Walk to the pantry, open the door (if you have one) and snap a picture! Ee Gads! Share my mess with the world? Well, alright...
You would think that staying organized was the key to keeping your sanity when living in a tiny house, and it is! Which might explain why the Renegades are just a little whacky. So, in the name of friendly competition, here it is, in all it's messy glory, our pantry!
The bread n' butter of the pantry, the staples, the things we reach for most often, and a few receipts.
Here are the nighttime supplements, our honey, and our munchies. Oh, and a random can of coconut milk.
Here's the bulk stuff, the things that get forgotten, and our dirty little pantry secrets.
As an added bonus, we are giving away a 100% upvote to the first comment that identifies the pantry item that gives away our true Canadian-ness. It's a little hard to spot, so happy hunting!
EDIT TO ADD: Our Canadian item so stealth we are going to up the ante. Not only We will give the first comment to identify the item a 100% upvote, we will also give a 100% upvote to the winners post of choice. (What am I doing? This is a contest within a contest!)
Thanks for reading everyone! Please upvote, follow, and resteem to support this work. As always, comments are welcome.
Is that a bag of Tim Horton's coffee, I see?

You really cleaned up here tonight... And to think it all started with a messy panty! 😂

You 100% Upvote at 100% Power has been granted! Cheers, Aimee
Thank you!
🔔 Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! The Tim Horton's coffee is definitely the most Canadian item in our pantry! -Aimee
Cool! I had to zoom in 200% on my monitor to try and identify it :)
You might want to have another look at your title because that's a whole other subject ;)
LMAO! So much for having the mister proof read for me. Great catch! -Aimee
That's not a bag of Tim Hortons coffe by the hot sauce is ?
In fact, it is and you have indeed discovered our most Canadian pantry item. Unfortunately, @movievigilante discovered the delicious brew first so the prize has already been given out. Thanks for playing though! We are thinking of doing these fun contests more often in the future. What do you think? -Aimee
Ahaha...Gotta love Franks Red Hot sauces I use it in all my cheese sauces! Good luck with the contest.
Yes! Frank's is delicious. Cheese sauce also sounds delicious which is probably why they are a perfect match! -Aimee
Breton crackers are a Canadian staple.
MMM Breton crackers are a tasty treat but it's not the most Canadian item in our pantry. Please try again!

hahahaha thi is a very funny !
because I would do the same but the best thing is when they allow you to be you and it turns out that being you is what best comes out! success
Thanks! I am glad you got a chuckle. I agree, getting to be your true self is always best. -Aimee
President’s choice extra chunky salsa or the no name marshmallows? 😂
While you have identified my snack kryptonite, those are not the most Canadian item in our pantry. Feel free to take another gander.

Hmmm... Could it be the can of sweet potato in French? Why would it be labelled in French unless you were in Canada... Or France... 😁
If French labels defined the most Canadian item, nearly the whole pantry would qualify! We have to have French and English on pretty much all food labels in Canada. Please feel free to try again though!

True, it was just the first thing to catch my eye. Behind the coconut milk, there are two bags of chips. Aren't those called PC chips?
We thought it very very impressive that you spotted the French label! Keen eyes! Guilty as charged, those are PC (President Choice) chips in the back of the pantry. Still not out most Canadian item though. @movievigilante finally uncovered the winning item. We still hope you had fun playing. We are thinking about doing more fun contests like these in the future. What do you think? -Aimee
Congrats to @movievigilante! This was fun!
We are so glad you had fun! -Aimee
The Gerolsteiner? Good luck on the Messy Pantry contest! Gotta love pistachios!
Following!
While I would love for Canada to take the credit for Gerolsteiner, I won't take that one away from the Germans. Go ahead and take another peek!

Thanks for posting!! Haha...it was fun seeing the coconut milk you recommended! I wish I knew more about Canadian food! Haha
This contest was too fun to pass up! I wondered if you would spot that delicious coconut milk. You may want to get familiar with Canadian food because we decided to up the ante.

Ahhh! Ok...can I have a guess without being able to know probably know the brand or what it is?
Our most Canadian item was discovered by @movievigilante but I would still love to hear your guess! -Aimee
Our guess was the bottle behind the olive oil...but I'm glad someone got it! 😀
Is that maple syrup behind the breton crackers. That would be my guess...syrup.🙃
I wish that was maple syrup behind the Breton crackers, but it's smoked herring! 😝 Plus, we keep our maple syrup in the fridge. I will tell you that you have a much better idea of how stealth this item may be placed though. Try your luck again!
