Your Heirloom Pantry


Here are some items that I keep on hand and stocked for back up! You might be surprised by a few things you find on the list This IS NOT a list of EVERY pantry essential,  just the ones we use that might be uncommon to your regular grocery list.

o   Good Oils -
·      Olive Oil – Used daily! Salads, low heat cooking,
·      Coconut Oil - Actually a solid until you heat it up. Good for high heat and great flavor!
·      Grapeseed Oil - very good for high heat and no strong flavor. I use instead of potentially GMO canola oils.
o   
    Sea Salt – Lots of wonderful claims of health and minimally processed
o   
    Organic Chicken Broth – Get low sodium and a list of ingredients you can understand!
o   
    Make Your Own ‘box mixes’ for Cakes, Pancakes, and Waffles - More to come on this!
