Happy New Year! I hope 2019 is off to a great start for everyone so far! Every first of the year I clean out my kitchen cabinets and restock what’s needed.

So I’ve made a list of the things that I personally use the most in my everyday cooking along with a printable PDF that you can find at the end of this post. Of course the items listed will vary from person to person, depending on your preferences, but you can use this as a guideline and then add or leave out whatever you desire.
If you are able to buy in bulk this will help to save a lot of money and time since it is relatively inexpensive and will last you a while. Then all you have to worry about is buying fresh produce on a weekly basis.Here are a few extra tips that I like to follow when I shop and cook at home:
- Replace unused spices and herbs every 6-8 months
- Buy local and organic produce when possible
- Avoid canned goods with BPA liners (Eden Organics and Muir Glen are two brands that I like that sell BPA-free canned goods)
- Only reheat leftovers in glass containers, not plastic
