Pantry Staples


Here I’m sharing my staples for the homestead kitchen – items I keep on hand and use again and again in countless recipes. I learn heavily toward organic, and many of these, like bone broth and vanilla extract I make myself. These are the ingredients that help keep my kitchen stocked, flexible and ready for whatever meal I’m creating.

Ingredients that I need to buy I grab from Azure Standard – which you can learn all about them and how to get in on the action here.
