I used to think that what was in my pantry didn't matter, that the foods that were in there weren't the focus for my family's meals or that some things weren't "that bad". I was wrong! Over the last few years I have been more intentional about keeping good foods in my pantry. Foods that I feel good about serving my family. Foods, that while they may not be "ready made", don't take long to prepare and are much better for me and my family. It has made a HUGE difference in how I cook AND how often I cook. Being able to know what I have available and to also know that it is good for me, gives me the confidence I need to provide meals for my family that are well-rounded and taste good!
It is also a great feeling knowing that I can send my children to the pantry for a snack and know that whatever they pick, they're making a good choice! It's been much easier for me to meal plan and keep my pantry well-stocked with the help I've gotten from the ladies of Truly Blissful. The lists they have created are things I have been able to reference for my meal planning and keeping my pantry balanced and full of good food! What is in my pantry has changed from quick meals/snacks loaded with chemicals and who knows what else to foods with a purpose and labels I can understand!"
