The kitchen is my happy place. Whether I’m meal prepping dinners and lunches for the week, baking a single serve cookie to satisfy a craving, or whipping up an order of cinnamon rolls for a client, it’s my favourite place in the house. Since I spend so much time in it, I’ve come to fall in love with certain products over the years. I’m particular with my products, but also on a budget. So, here they all are concisely organised for you! I don’t need super fancy stuff, I prefer to be more hands on in the kitchen!
Here are all of the products we buy on repeat to stock our pantry. Lots of dairy free snacks, lots of healthier snack options, anything great for travel. I have to pack all kinds of food and snacks for even the smallest outing for us because we have food allergies. Additionally we try to eliminate sugar, carbs, and additives to our food as much as humanly possible. Some of us are completely dairy and gluten free while some people have no allergies in our family. With these swaps I can show you everything we have replaced in our pantry to get us toward a more healthy non toxic lifestyle. Please check labels carefully to ensure products are right for your family.

I am crazy for spice, when I was in college I grew 24 pepper plants of 6 different varieties one year, and I've tried to grow at least one new variety every year. I love trying and making new hot sauces. I enjoy sweeter (and hotter) hot sauces, so keep in mind my spice tolerance is on the high side and if you like salty hot sauces this list might not work for you. I keep a spreadsheet of all the hot sauces I try and how I liked them, how hot I thought they were, and what other flavors they have.
I like snacking as everyelse does but I also like to keep ingredients as clean as possible even find low calorie ones or high protein. These snacks keep me on track and are perfect for when I'm craving something salty or sweet.
we don’t stress about eating perfect, but we definitely do our best to switch any sugary, dye-filled snacks for better non toxic options
(no corn syrup, dyes, fake sugars, heavy metals, or man-made chemical preservatives etc)

“To ‘put by’ is an old, deep southern way of saying to ‘save something you don’t need now, for the time when you will need it.’ Preserving fresh food by canning, freezing, or dehydrating is a fantastic way to enjoy fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables throughout the year. It can undoubtedly be a healthier alternative to commercially available products and a more cost-effective way to feed your family. I find great pleasure in knowing that I have a delicious product made entirely from “scratch.” Every food has an optimal way of preserving it. Much of that depends on your personal preference for consuming each food. For example, berries can be canned as jam or syrup, made into juice, dried into leather or slices, or frozen in bulk.
