Pantry Primer - A Well-Stocked Gluten Free Pantry

For me, a well-stocked, gluten free kitchen means being able whip up a snack, treat or dinner without having to run to the grocery every time I want to cook. That is a momentum killer, the grocery, I mean. I get all excited to make something new and then realize I have to go shopping first. By keeping a good assortment of staples on hand, I am more able to have fun in the kitchen and cook things when I am inspired. Of course, this chart does not include the obvious meats, fish, poultry and veggies that are often the backbone of meals.
