Pantries have gotten more important since millions of Americans started cooking and eating more at home in the past two years. Bulk storage has been a pandemic trend, but it’s not always ideal for making fresh, healthy meals for yourself and your household.
With food being fuel for your life, health, fitness and productivity, how can you optimize your pantry as an important element of your kitchen’s food storage zone? What else can or should they hold? Where should they ‘live’ in your home? My latest piece will answer these questions, with input from three pros! (I’ll be talking with them this afternoon in my next Clubhouse WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS conversation!)
Pantries are getting bigger and holding more kitchen items.
