Here is the pantry here at Hillcrest (if you are new, read more about the organization I work for in this post or by clicking the Hillcrest label over to the left):
So sometimes when I think about pantry food, I think about less than healthy, but very shelf-stable food.
And then there's the pantry of the family we got our CSA produce from this last summer:
A whole different monster!!!
As for us, we don't really have a space set aside for our pantry. You may not either. I've generally blogged about food that can be made with non-perishable or semi-perishable foods and I think that is a good place to start. I love this list of Food Essentials from one of my favorite bloggers, the Leftover Queen.
However, frozen food is also practically non-perishable, so your pantry may extend to your freezer. Or do you have a cellar? Everyone's pantry looks different. I hope for all of you this year that the common theme between all of our pantries is that they are well stocked. :) Here are a few more resources for you as you look to maintain your pantry and provide for your family from what you have on hand.
Kitchen Stewardship (specifically her very timely post on storing fresh food)
Sustainable Pantry Blog (She's where I'd like to be someday)
Once a Month Mom (learn about cooking once a month to save time and money)
Living on a Dime (awesome website from the author of one of my most-frequently used cookbooks)
Preparedness Pantry (yet another kind of pantry - emergency preparedness)
