Hi friends,
Below is a list of pantry staples to help you nourish those cells during your social distancing. I’ve also included some easy recipes using these pantry items below. If you’re fortunate enough to have access to fresh produce and meat, my top tip is to make freezer meals using some of those ingredients. Light & Love,
Sarah
