If you walked into my kitchen today, next Tuesday, or a month from now and searched through my pantry I guarantee you would find the items below ALWAYS in stock (along with dried/sticky maple syrup, spilled spices, and bottom of the jar residue). These pantry staples are an essential part of my diet, and in my opinion, of anyone's diet who is living a plant based lifestyle! I find that when I've got these few items on hand, I've got a good foundation for delicious and nutritious meals!
