How to eat healthy on a budget is a question that I get asked frequently. And, my answer remains the same, having a well-stocked pantry. That's why I decided to put together a complete guide to stocking your pantry on a budget. 

Here I'm going to share with you the types of ingredients you need in your pantry, the ingredients you can buy based on your budgets, and where you shop to affordably stock your pantry. 

Before you start adding these ingredients to your grocery list, I want to make note that these are suggestions of where you can. It's so important to keep in mind your food preference, as well as any food intolerances or sensitivities. You don’t need everything on this list (although having a few of them would make meal prep a lot easier). Start where you are and add as you go!

Well, today, I’m giving you a little sneak peek behind the curtain as I get started with my Autoimmune Protocol journey.

If you've ever struggled to feed a large family, you're going to want to tune into this interview with my business friend, Apolonia Cross from Plan Her Way to Fit to sharing the hacks that she's using to feed her family on 8 (with #9 on the way!)

The reason that I joined forces with Apolonia is that as a family of one (and a half if you count my dog Penny), I know all too well that not all of the tips I share are going to be applicable to large families. 

I knew that I had to get Apolonia to share exactly how she is doing this with a large family when she’s pregnant while running an online business, during a pandemic. In this special episode of A Spoonful of Soul, we break down exactly how to feed a large family healthy meals with what's already in your pantry. Click through to watch!
