🌱Stocking a Healthy Pantry🌱
When people ask me where heathy eating starts, I always say: your pantry. If you have the right staples on hand all the time, meals and snacks fall into place easily. All without the hidden additives or overpriced health foods
Here is a peek at what we have stocked:
💫Homemade organic spice blends or purchases organic spices. So much more flavor minus the irradiation and fillers
🍯 Raw local honey, pure maple syrup and organic coconut sugar
🥣 Organic baking staples for those special treats. Aluminum free baking powder, organic flours ( avoiding the ones fortified with synthetic folic acid) and other simple clean ingredients
🌾 Organic rice and pasta- while we don’t eat many carbs when we do I make sure it’s high quality.
🥑Oils matter a lot! I skip all seed oils and use olive oil, organic butter, ghee and coconut oil. Don’t forget lard and bacon fat from high quality bacon. 😋
🌽 Organic corn chips and salsa, stovetop popcorn with butter, organic nuts for snacks.
Let’s talk salad 🥗 dressing because those bottles at the store, even the paleo or keto versions are crazy expensive and still full of ingredients that are less then desirable. Honestly, some of the best dressings are the simplest:
🥗 Olive oil, lemon juice and some seasonings whisked together until thick
🥗Sour cream with a splash of milk and ranch spices or fresh blue cheese
It’s not about being fancy, it’s about having real food ready to go, so eating well is effortless.
Next time I will cover refrigerator staples 💕
What is YOUR favorite food to keep on hand?
