In this video, I am sharing what I keep on hand in my pantry for cooking from scratch. To prepare meals made from whole foods, a well stocked pantry is key. I also share tips and recipes throughout the “tour.” All the recipes and pantry staples I mention in the video are all linked below.
Essential Herbs & Spices checklist (Printable PDF)
I didn’t realize how many items I buy from Azure Standard until filming this video. They truly are a great resource! I didn’t mention in the video how ordering from them works: you order online and can choose to have the items shipped directly to you or pick the items up from a drop and save on shipping (this is what I do).
Let me know in the comments below if you already order from them, or if you decided to place an order after this video.
Shelves for Spices
NOTE: The ones I have are 3” deep but are no longer available, these are slightly larger.
I love this 50 lb. Bag of Salt from Azure Standard. I transfer it into a 5 gallon bucket and secure it with Gamma Seal Lids.
Recipes Mentioned:
Red Rice (Layered Dip) & TACO SEASONING
Whole Grains for Making Flour at Home
Homemade Flour from Whole Grains is my most popular article on milling grains at home. If home-ground flour is new to you, this is where you want to start.

These are the grains mentioned: Kamut, Soft White Wheat, Hard White Wheat, Hard Red Wheat, Spelt, Rolled Oats, Popcorn, Dent Corn, Einkorn, Rye, Durum, Barley, Buckwheat, and Sorghum.
