One of the questions I\u2019m asked most often is how do I always have the time and energy to make dinner after work? And my answer every single time, without fail, is this\u2026 a stocked pantry is essential!<\/h2>\n

\"stockedKeeping a stocked pantry, fridge and freezer is pretty much the best advice I can give someone who\u2019s in the kitchen. I\u2019ve been promising my friends a post on what\u2019s in my pantry for ages and today\u2019s the day. Having a handful of dry ingredients at my fingertips allows me to whip up most any meal in minutes. It\u2019s been my mantra for ages and it all started while I was a private chef. I can\u2019t even tell you how many times I\u2019d show up to work to cook for a client\u00a0and then all of a sudden what was supposed to be dinner for 6 turned into dinner for 16. It\u2019s part of the job and keeping a stocked pantry made adjusting for that pretty much effortless.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re taking a peek into some essential pantry ingredients plus obsessing over the new Facts up Front<\/a> program that just rolled out. It\u2019s made my life even easier because all the nutrition facts are right smack on the front of the packaging. So you can just glance at a few different options, grab the one that makes the most sense for you, and boom, you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n

So, by the end of this post, you\u2019ll get a first hand look into the new Facts up Front<\/a> program, but you\u2019ll be armed with a list of must-have items to keep stocked at all times!<\/p>\n
