Ok, I am soooo excited! In less than two weeks, I will be moving out of Dad's house, and in with the boyfriend! My mother has graciously gifted me a stocked pantry, so I need to get ready for our shopping trip!

What would you stock in my pantry? There is nothing in there as of yet! I'm wanting lots of heathy options...I'm wanting to get away from a lot of processed foods, so I'm wanting to make my own bread and things like that...

Beans
Almond milk
protein powder
fruits
Frozen veggies
peanut butter

    Lots of meats - I always buy the bulk packs and divide them into small amounts and put them in freezer bags :)

    I forgot eggs...I don't actually like eggs myself but I know I am in the minority. Also, they are useful in a lot of recipes.
