My Pantry and Freezer Staples:
Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free
DAIRY-FREE GLUTEN-FREE PANTRY AND FREEZER STAPLES
Many are asking what I have in my pantry cupboards & freezer. I probably have much like you do except they are gluten free or dairy free. But I will share with you what is in my dry pantry and freezer, all are organic if I have a choice. The photo below is just a couple of my pantry cupboards. I have tons of spices which take up 3 large shelves.
I prefer to make my own bread even if it comes from a mix. I pick my own fruit and freeze it. I try to use mostly veggies I grow and freeze. You could easily purchase fruit and veggies at the summer farmers markets and freeze some for the winter time. Companies I purchase products a lot from are: Bob’s Red Mill, Beyond Meat, Butler’s, Montana Gluten Free, Enjoy Life and The Pure Pantry.
I hope this list helps you get started shopping for a gluten-free and-or dairy-free life.

This list helps with my pantry organization. I just cook for myself so often don’t have too much on hand with which to work. I need to stock up!
Thank you so much this is just what I needed
I have a few items in your pantry, but not nearly enough. That’s because I don’t really cook. If only I could grow my own vegetables and freeze them, what a fantastic idea. In the summer and fall there are a few stands out and about that sell home-grown vegetables, which is nice.
It sounds like you have a very healthy pantry! You’re inspiring me to make mine more healthy now, too.
Thanks Meg!
