vegetables for the pantry

Ingredients for a well-stocked kitchen, including my wish list for everything that will magically appear as I start to cook. Review this page for inspiration to plan a menu for the week and write a shopping list.

Support local farmers by purchasing fruits and vegetables in season. Organic eggs, fruits, meats and plant-based foods always recommended, pocketbook permitting. See One Green Planet for information on the chemicals and pesticides used in agriculture today.
