It's Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com,

and today we're doing something really fun.

We are going to tour our beautiful and organized pantry.

So many of you guys have been asking for this

and it's finally here.

But before we hop in, I want to show you guys

the before and afters.

Anna from Home Aligned,

helped take our pantry from zero to hero

and now it is a space that I love to be in.

So let's check it out.

(laughs)

Come on.

Welcome to my pantry.

Ta-da! (laughs)

Doesn't it look fabulous?

Anna did such a great job, thank you, Anna.

Everything from the floor, she added this super, cozy rug,

all the way up, she decorated, she organized.

Aw, she added so many cute containers and labels.

And I just love being in this space.

And I'm gonna show you everything we have in our drawers.

We're gonna start with this section over here.

The fun stuff.

So my husband's Combat powder, of course.

And this is a refill for the jar

that we keep on the counter.

And then we also have our go-to quick pancake mix.

This is Pamela's brand, I love this stuff.

We always keep a batch in the pantry.

And then refill for chia seeds.

We get that big ole pack at Costco.

Love those, we put them in our yogurt with homemade granola.

We have a recipe for that on our site.

All right, and then going to drawer number two,

we have our son's lunch box station.

We've got his menus printed here, his water bottles,

the lunchbox that he uses which is so fun.

And I will link to this in the notes,

if you want to get your hands on the same kind.

Thermos.

I have some lunchbox ideas on my site

for how to use these to pack a hot lunch for school, so fun.

And then down here we just have some refills

on condiment-type things.

Some jalapeno peppers, we love these,

we put them in our guacamole.

Mmm, love spicy. (laughs)

And then of course, ketchup, mustard, pickles, mayo.

Refills on all the important things in life.

And then onto our next section, we have our grains.

One of the grains that we love is buckwheat.

Super good for you and I think it's gluten free

and just really tasty.

I have some recipes for that, too.

Always keep a stash of that,

and then just things like rolled oats

that we use to make our homemade granola,

and then steel-cut oats which again,

I have a great recipe for this.

Breadcrumbs, so just simple grain-type things.

We keep our chicken and beef broth over here.

All right, and over here

we have the potatoes, garlic and onions.

And the garlic and onions

actually came from my mom's garden.

Homegrown garlic tastes so good.

And if you guys want to see their garden,

we did a tour of it a couple years ago

and it is just the most incredible,

homegrown garden you will see,

so make sure you check that out.

So always keep those restocked

because onions and garlic and potatoes

are very important in my life. (laughs)

Okay, and while we're down here,

down here we keep our refills for flour.

Got those labeled and I love these labels.

And everything I have in this video I will leave links to.

All the containers, the labels, everything I can,

I will let you know where I got them

so you can get them, too.

I've got all of our sugars,

there's some almond flour in here,

so basically these refill the containers

that we keep up on top so that I have quick and easy access

to these things when I'm baking.

Further down in here we keep things like our waffle maker,

there's a popcorn maker back there,

it's so fun to make homemade popcorn,

some vases, just some random do-dads.

And then up here, again, refills on things

like olive oil, vinegar, coconut oil.

I've got some big ol' bag of baking soda

that I didn't remember we had, yay.

(laughs)

And then a little pasta maker attachment

that I still have to experiment with.

I'm excited for that.

Okay, onward.

Now, I'm gonna show you the most dangerous section

in all of the pantry, the snack-attack section.

(laughs) All right, and I'll show you

why it's dangerous, is because snacks and sweet treats.

Mostly stuff for the kids.

Some of the things for mom. (laughs)

and just snacks that the kids can come and get.

We try to keep healthy-ish items in here,

but okay, we'll just leave that right there.

Next we have the more snack-attack section.

All right, we have kettle corn, some M&Ms,

sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds.

My husband loves to munch on those.

Some roasted sunflower seeds.

And then we have chocolate-covered somethings, blueberries.

I love Trader Joe's for this kind of

random chocolate-covered stuff.

Some nuts for snacking.

And down here, we have more snacks.

Oh, surprise, surprise.

Some healthy snacks, some not-so-healthy.

And then we have some refills for tea.

We have a tea station over by our coffee station,

and these are just some extra ones that we love.

Now, onto that side there's more.

There's so much more. (laughs)

All right, let's get going.

So down here we have,

come on down.

All right, so here we have refills

for things like coffee, and some cereal boxes

that we restock our canisters up on top.

This is my daughter's favorite, favorite cereal.

She loves it so much

and I love that it doesn't have food coloring.

So you get the marshmallows without the colors.

All right, and that is our canning stockpot

and we also keep these handy foil containers

down here for traveling.

They actually wash well, we reuse them.

Also, for smoking meats these are super handy

and I will link to these

as well as our canning pot that I love.

Inexpensive things that make life better.

(laughs) Okay, now, next section.

We're here.

Here we have the pasta drawer.

And I am just such a sucker for pasta.

I love pasta, and this isn't all the pasta,

this is just refills for the pasta that's up there.

We'll go, I'll show you that later.

But egg noodles, love those.

And then, I think, I mean I love all the pastas,

but I think my favorite noodle-type pasta is,

or spaghetti-type pasta is angel hair.

I don't know why, I've just always loved angel hair.

Even just with, like a whole bunch of butter.

Notice I didn't say a little bit.

(laughs) All right, and then we always

keep some store-bought marinara sauce in the pantry

and I want to know

what's your favorite store-bought marinara sauce.

So let me know in the comments.

Next section we have,

(laughs) more snacks.

(claps)

I love my snacks as you can see.

We have our tortilla chip, tortilla chip.

Tortilla chips. (laughs)

and we buy these, oh my goodness, by the truckload, Costco.

We eat so many chips.

I love that these are organic and not too oily.

They taste great.

Then we have my favorite naughty chips.

Like, junk food chips. (laughs)

These salt and vinegar chips.

Oh my, those are dangerous for me.

But worth it.

And then over here we have our popcorn bin,

we have an entire bin dedicated to popcorn.

So we have the popcorn for home popping,

which we use our popcorn maker for.

And then these from Trader Joe's

and then the sweet kettle corn which is my favorite.

And that's it for the snack drawer.

Now, let's move on.

And our last set of drawers over here,

in the first one we keep just some refill things

that we also stock in our kitchen.

Extra foil, extra plastic wrap and then gloves.

And I'll link to these.

We use these just to reduce the amount of hand-washing

I have to do 'cause my hands get dry

from all that hand-washing.

These are so handy to have on hand.

Handy to have on hand.

I'm good. (laughs)

Oh, stop, stop it. (laughs)

All right and then we also have some refills

for our food saver.

I love, I love my food saver,

I'll talk about that a little bit.

And some bag clips.

Then moving down here we have tuna and salmon.

That's a lot of tuna and salmon and sardines.

I'm not sure what's going on, why we have so much.

I think it's, I think we were planning for end of the world.

I guess I should start eatin' sardines 'cause I have a lot.

(laughs)

And down here we've got some more refills and canned things.

I have my homemade apple sauce.

And make sure, make sure, you find the recipe for this

on my site, it's the easiest thing ever

if you have a lot of apples to make this.

And then we also have homemade vanilla extract

that is brewing.

It is two ingredients, I have a recipe for this on my blog.

So that is in process right now.

So I can refill my jars later.

And then we have some raw honey

and some homemade canned tomatoes.

And I updated my canned tomatoes recipe

if you want to find that on my blog, too.

And then we have some more just canned things

that we like to stock.

Pineapple for when you've got pineapple munchies,

a little extra can of sweetened condensed milk.

Rotel because we do like the Rotel in those dips.

Sausage queso, baby. (laughs)

Oh, yum, yum.

Okay, and then we also have pumpkin pie mix

and some crushed tomatoes for recipes of course.

Love to have a well-stocked pantry.

All right, moving up in the world,

(laughs)

let's talk about what's on our counters.

Okay, we use these things all the time.

We start out with my husband's protein powder jar.

Everyday almost.

And then I love Anna's idea from Home Aligned

to put in a little sandwich station.

How cute is this?

And because of this, I kid you not,

I eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches all the time now.

Is that a good thing?

I don't know. (laughs)

Right next to the toaster, super convenient.

And then moving on over here, we have,

this is my inspiration.

I open up to something that makes me want to cook or bake.

This is the inspiration station.

I like that, I rhymed. (laughs)
