What I keep in my pantry and fridge — real-food staples that make weeknight cooking easier and the basics nourishing.

More coming. I'm building this list out as I share what's actually in our pantry and fridge. For the specific picks I grab by store (Aldi, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Walmart, and sometimes Sam's), follow along with the What's in My Cart blog series.

Classic Sauerkraut

Raw, unpasteurized, and actually full of live cultures — the easiest probiotic boost you can add to a meal. They make great kimchi and dressings too.
