The Pantry
Here is a list of items that are good to have on hand. Start building up your paleo pantry now by simply buying one or two of these items each time you go grocery shopping. Before you know it, you’ll have everything you need. Most of these items can be found at any health food store and even some regular grocery stores as well as Costco. I mostly shop at Sunflower Market over The Good Earth simply because they have better prices and are more of an actual grocery store, however, TGE has a way better bulk section. And every once in a while we trek up to SLC and visit Whole Foods, which is fun.
I’ll also say that everything on this list will not apply to you, for example our meals tend to have more of a Mexican flare over an Asian flare. We don’t have any fish sauce or curry paste in our house, but it’s a sad day when we run out of salsa!
As you you start to stock your panty you need to remember that you still need to read your labels – you can’t just assume that every brand of chicken broth, coconut milk or mustard is A-OK. Read your labels! If there’s added sugar, corn starch, soy lecithin or other unapproved ingredients, keep hunting until you find a healthier product.
- Chicken broth/stock
- Beef broth/stock
- Coconut milk (full fat, from a can)
- Coconut oil Buy the unrefined kind – organic isn’t important here.
- Canned/jarred jalepenos
- Canned diced green chilies
- Olive oil
- Tomatoes (canned, crushed or diced)
- Tomato paste
- Spaghetti Sauce
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Canned mushrooms
- Vinegar (balsamic, cider, white, etc.)
- Coconut flour
- The Good Earth bulk section has the best price
- Shredded coconut flakes
- Almond meal/flour
- Raw macadamia nuts
- Raw Almonds
- Raw Pecans
- Raw Walnuts
- Almond Butter (refrigerate after opening)
- Sunbutter
- Choose the organic version – all others have added sugar.
- Beef Jerky (very hard to find a “clean” jerky) primal pacs or paleokits are great
- Canned wild-caught Alaskan Salmon
- Canned tuna
- Sesame oil
- Coconut aminos/tamari (this is like soy sauce without the soy)
- Curry paste
- Fish sauce

Paleo Potluck
Paleo Potluck Friday November 18 at 7pm
A couple months ago we were fortunate enough to have Dallas and Melissa from Whole9 come down an give us a mini nutrition seminar. We launched a 2 month challenge for those who were willing to accept. The first 30 days we strongly encouraged people to go whole30, which means absolutely no slips or cheats for 30 days. Then we encouraged everyone to take the next 30 days and figure out how to make this paleo or whole30 concept a way of life and not just something you got real serious about for 30 days and then just tossed it out the window.
Our Nutrition Matters challenge is finished with and we are celebrating by have a Paleo Potluck, where you can bring some of your favorite meals that you have learned to make along the way. If you are still very new to the paleo concept or aren’t really sure what it is, you should definitely come and get some great recipe ideas and taste some amazing food. If you want to come but are afraid you’ll bring something that isn’t paleo, don’t worry. Play it safe and bring some fruit or veggies, or a good old standby is a rotisserie chicken!
This is also a great time to invite family or friends! We spend so much time sweating, running, burpeying, and barbell lifting together, it’s time to spend a different kind of quality time together!
If your dish gets the most votes you could walk away with a 1 hour massage from Trisha, Paleo Comfort Foods cookbook, or Everyday Paleo cookbook.
