Whole Foods Pantry Journey

Last week’s pantry purchase was $10 worth of rice. This week’s purchase ( I am building my whole foods pantry using $10 a week) is going to be dried milk.  I will be buying $10 worth of dried milk for my pantry stash. I now have Pinto beans, Brown rice, and dried milk powder in addition to the  quart jar of dried organic mushrooms, and 10 containers of oatmeal I had before starting this whole foods journey. I do have 20 regular jars of peanut butter stocked up—it’s not natural whole food PB, but I have to use what I have!  
Here are my purchases so far in my WF Pantry Stash! 
Today I am cooking a huge pot of northern beans for two meals to serve this week.  My family loves White Chicken Chili and  Bean Soup.  I have the recipes for both posted in the recipe tab if you are interested.  Since I am cooking my beans first, just sub the beans for the canned beans in the chili recipe and I am not using the crock pot for the bean soup--just cooking the bean soup on the stove top.   These recipes are very easy to adjust to your family's tastes.
Blessings,
Lisa
