Shop My Pantry

Welcome to Shop My Pantry! This is where I share the ingredients, spices, and pantry staples that show up in my recipes again and again. Everything here is something I genuinely use and keep stocked in my own kitchen. Organized by store section so you can shop the way you actually walk through a grocery store.

Produce & Fresh

Fresh vegetables, herbs, and produce I reach for most often. This section grows each week as I publish new menus and grocery lists — check back every week for what’s in season and on the table.

Dairy & Refrigerated

The dairy and refrigerated staples that show up in my recipes week after week. Eggs, butter, cheese, cream — if you keep these stocked you are always ready to cook.

Meat & Proteins

The proteins I cook with most often for feeding a crowd. Updated weekly as new menus are published.

Pantry Staples

The seasonings, canned goods, oils, sauces, and everyday ingredients that live in my pantry year-round. These are the items that make everything taste good — keep them stocked and you are always ready to cook.

These three live on my counter permanently. I don’t put them away. I’m not going to.

  • Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Seasoning — The exact seasoning I used in my Cucumber Tomato Salad — and honestly, on basically everything else too. A bold Mediterranean blend that works on chicken, potatoes, salad, pasta, and more. Jason approves.

My mama was the one who told me about Better Than Bouillon — and she was right. People always ask me why my food tastes so good, and nine times out of ten this is the answer. You should always take your mama’s advice. Always.

  • Better Than Bouillon — This really is a game changer. You’ll want to pick up some of the beef and some of the chicken. Make sure you never run out.

Bread & Grains

Breads, rolls, tortillas, and grains that round out a meal. Updated as new menus are published each week.

Frozen

Frozen staples I keep on hand for easy weeknight dinners and crowd-pleasing casseroles.

Baking Staples

Every great recipe starts with a well-stocked pantry. These are the baking staples I always keep on hand — the building blocks behind almost every baked good on this site. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated. Just the basics, so you’re always ready to bake.

Note: Baking Soda is NOT included — Stephanie does not recommend it (believes it leaves a bitter aftertaste).
