One of the most important self-sufficiency skills to master is cooking from scratch and doing it on a consistent basis. I would not be able to cook from scratch 90% of the time without having a well stocked, from scratch pantry.  In this episode I talk about everything you need and should have in your from scratch pantry to make sure you are set to cook any meal at any time. I am not talking about stockpiling or hoarding, but creating and building a pantry based on kitchen essentials that will save you time, money, and stress.
