Pantry Staples- Lentils


Welcome to week 3 of my pantry staples! This week is all about the lentils. I'll be honest, lentils are a relatively new staple for me, and for the longest time I wasn't quite sure what to do with them, and didn't know which color to buy. I felt overwhelmed and seemed to reach past them every time I was looking for something to make for dinner. I am finally comfortable with this ingredient now that I know how to cook them, and have found some recipes I love! They are indeed worthy of being a pantry staple!

Pantry Staple- Beans


Ahhh, the first pantry staple. Beans! At any given time you can find upwards of five cans of beans in my pantry. My personal favorites are garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and black beans. But I also love pinto beans, kidney beans, refried beans, and white beans depending on what I am making.
Both meat eaters and vegetarians alike can benefit greatly from incorporating beans into their diets. Beans are rich in protein, high in fiber, very versatile, and budget friendly, whats not to love?!
