The Pantry List

Well, I had my list nicely organized into two columns to save space but apparently Blogger doesn't like that and it won't format right. So this is just going to be one looooong list.

This is based upon my family’s current, actual eating habits. As much as I wish I could say that we eat all sorts of uber-healthy twigs and nuts type foods, we really don’t…at least not yet. This doesn’t represent what I have on hand right now, but what I should have when my pantry is well-stocked. I’m hoping to use it as a reference list when planning my shopping trips. The items with asterisks are foods that I am still working on finding a good natural/whole foods variety.
