MY PANTRY

I made a list of some staples in my pantry and fridge since I thought it may be useful for those starting on this lifestyle. It doesn’t mean that I always have them or that I eat nothing else. These are just the ones I use more often or those that are usually available in my pantry. Many of them last a long time and I only need to buy them from time to time.
