We had to really think about pantries when Lydia over at the Perfect Pantry was going to take a peek into ours. Have we ever had a big pantry? I do remember having one in one of the homes I grew up in & I liked looking in it, I remember opening the door often and just staring into it.  My dad and stepmom have one, now;  but, they really don’t have much in it, probably almost the same sort of things that we do.  Lenny’s mother has one, which, I personally have never looked in and I highly double Lenny has!  But, personally, NO!  Of all the places I/we have lived on our own, the past twenty some years, neither of us have EVER had a big pantry. It is not a bad thing to have a big pantry; but, it is kind of like having a big house, you just end  up collecting stuff! In all honesty, the idea of food “stuff” lingering around in our pantry, kind of  grosses us out.  We are the type of people who don’t really care for leftovers for insistence, let alone a pile of “pantry stuff”.  As well, we pretty much eat exactly what we buy on a weekly basis and we have a tendency to only have perishable items on hand. We definitely try our hardest to eat locally, organic and sustainablly as much as possible. As well you will not find junk food, processed food, snack food, or quick fix frozen food. The staples we keep on our one shelve pantry are …. well, click on the above photo and find out!

  • Thanks so much for sharing your pantry video! I agree completely — I have far too many things lurking in the recesses of my pantry precisely because I have a large pantry space. In fact, one of the reasons I started my blog was to give myself an excuse to purge and edit –I had to justify every item in the pantry before I would write about it.

    It may be small but it’s a definitely a complete, well-equipped pantry with a nice & homely feel :)

  • Oh goodness, your kitchen is tiny! It’s was like our two previous kitchens. But you create such beautiful stuff, so it’s not the size of the kitchen that matter, but the cook.
    Great video Denise! Your god daughter is a cutie too!

    Hi there, thanks for leaving such a nice message. Glad you liked the post.

    Having seen your video, I now have serious spice rack envy. I love those magnetic ones.

  • [...] are not quit settled into our new place.  Boxes are everywhere.  The fridge is bare.  The pantry is smaller, so there is not much there.  And we are tried of take out.  On our way home from work [...]
