corner view "staple foods"

I eat gluten-free.  So, I would say that my staple foods are whole and preferably organic. Fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

I eat our fresh, organic and extremely local eggs from the back yard flock.  We are raising 5 more chicks at the moment.  I buy organic chicken from Whole Foods every week and sometimes organic pork.

I stock the pantry with dried beans and whole grains such as quinoa, gluten-free oats and various rices.  We also have a "snack drawer" of nuts, corn chips, gluten-free pretzels and dried fruits.

 

I also couldn't live without my spices.  I like to have a good sea salt on hand.  My favorite spice blend of all time is herbs de provence.  I have also discovered a nice salt/spice blend that I have been using a lot lately.  Our garden is stocked with fresh herbs as well; rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley, oregano, chives and sage.

 

We use canned tomatoes, chicken and olives.  Oh, speaking of olives, we always have on hand a nice bottle of olive oil.  I also couldn't live without my Pamela's gluten-free baking mix and my chocolate.

It all sounds a bit idyllic.  I can't say it is all the time.  I do eat at restaurants sometimes. I do feed my family frozen tamales and pizza (they can eat gluten).  But for the most part, eating gluten-free has forced me to eat healthier and more simply.  I am grateful for that.

We're not gluten free, but our pantries look and sound very similar...especially the eggs (but you knew that ;-)

We just brought in our first snips of fresh basil tonight...Heavenly aroma isn't it?!?

Lovely photos!
