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.
