What’s in Your Pantry?

One year ago, almost to the day, we moved.

Packing for the move took me MONTHS. I am not exaggerating; I kid you not. You see, when My Michael and I married, we converged two fully appointed homes.

We. Had. A. Lot. Of. Cr…,

Ah-hem! I mean, STUFF!

In the final hours of packing up our house, I landed, finally, in the kitchen. Watching the clock anxiously, I just started to pitch stuff. Tick-Tock,. We had to be out!

Lesson learned? I should have written a list of the kitchen cooking essentials! Because it took some time to recreate my perfectly stocked pantry.

Maybe you are moving and stocking your pantry from scratch, OR maybe you are tired of knocking on your neighbor’s door for a cup of sugar. In any case, I hope this helps!

Here it is, in no particular order. Obviously.
