Why wait for March to do a little spring cleaning? Blake and I spent the entire day two Sunday's ago going through our pantry: cleaning, getting rid of expired food, and reorganizing. I thought that this project would maybe take 3 hours, but I was a little bit off. Can you say 6 hours? What a way to spend a Sunday!
This post is all about what's in my pantry. Of course I stive to eat as healthy as possible (and gluten free when I can), but I am also most of the time in a rush to get some where. On top of that....Blake and I are pretty frugal when it comes to grocery shopping. It's detailed, down to the brand, but I've actually gotten quite a a few emails on this very topic. Without further adu, I introduce you to "Fit Foodie Pantry"
**Blake and I have both gluten free and non-gluten free food in our pantry. I'll mark what is gf and what is not.
