Welcome to mama eats, a twice-weekly newsletter inspired by a simple + seasonal home life. This week’s post, on pantry staples, is free to all readers. I try to provide as much free content as possible, however, this newsletter is a labor of love and I am a busy mama to three. If you have the means, and find value in what I share, please consider becoming a paid subscriber, which also gives you access to the growing archive of posts older than a month.

Onions with jug and knife, Lotta Camilla Teale, 2020

Hello lovely friends, thank you for reading. Today’s newsletter is a utilitarian one that I hope will prove useful (or at least interesting!) It came about from a comment received this weekend from a reader:

Hi Amanda, would you consider giving us a guide to pantry staples or giving us a tour of your pantry? I’d love to know what you consider essentials to keep on hand.

Of course, everyone’s staples will be different depending on preferences, nutrition needs, who you cook for… but these are my current favorites to keep on hand to create healthful meals with minimal fuss. In writing this list, I’ve stuck only to things I use very often- the workhorses of my kitchen- and left out things I use only occasionally.
