The Pantry

One of my favorite things to do is go grocery shopping.  I love to shop at Trader Joe’s and Fresh & Easy.  They have great quality food at resonable prices.  I try to buy organic when I can, but sometimes it’s not feasable and I have a budget I have to think about.  Hayden eats like a bird and Will is picky.  He has his favorites, picks up on subtle changes in my recipes and is skeptical of new dishes.  Below are the stock items I usually have on hand.
