Weird, I know :)<br />I've got pretty much the same list as you, but no lentils or bulgar. I always seem to have carrots and beets on hand too. They keep forever, and are a staple here.<br />I too buy the waffles - and thought I was the only one whoMegginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273851848944912940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-58630288556834088722011-09-20T23:32:18.911-04:002011-09-20T23:32:18.911-04:00Thank you Sylvia!

I'm also tight on storage space, so I can totally relate.

I have one of those mini-crockpots, designed to keep sauces warm. I do 1/3 c barley, 2/3 c milk, 2/3 c water and put it on overnight. In the morning I throw in some brown sugar, dried fruit, and cool it down with more milk. It's delicious - like eating oatmeal but less gluey and more chewy.

Thanks for mentioning that :)<br /><br />I do have a Trader Joes, which is on my way to Whole Foods, but I don't go there too often because I don't find everything on my list there, where I do find it at other places. I do really enjoy it though when I go there :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678769832792201034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-19810536002022431102011-04-20T10:36:52.923-04:002011-04-20T10:36:52.923-04:00what a great list!!

No they're not quite like fresh off the griddle, but they are so good. I make little circle pancakes and then bake them and turn them into sandwiches! They love it! If you have a Trader Joe's anywhere nearby they are a good resource too for organic, healthy foods for prices so low you do a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-40012555919445580772011-03-31T09:32:04.974-04:002011-03-31T09:32:04.974-04:00My ultimate goal is to make waffles and stuff and ...My ultimate goal is to make waffles and stuff and freeze them..I just need a freezer!

I totally agree and try to keep everything on your list except the Braggs, the barley (at the moment anyway), bulgar wheat (gotta try it) pancake mix and waffles (I usually make big batches of both from scratch and freeze them). Pretty good match up, however! My grocery bills are still sky high -- I need to figure out where I am going wrong!

All the bouillons we had/have are crappy and I refuse to use them. I often think to myself "gee, I wonder if there is a good bouillon I could acquire in case of emergencies or when I don't know what I'll do with a full 32 oz of stock?" I will definitely look for it next time I'm out!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678769832792201034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641879484161836484.post-57879574981437294462011-03-23T11:17:43.252-04:002011-03-23T11:17:43.252-04:00I, too, keep almost everything on this list on han...I, too, keep almost everything on this list on hand! Your mention of stocks and broths makes me wonder - have you ever tried Better than Bouillon? It's free of wacky ingredients and keeps in the fridge for long periods of time. I always keep their vegetable base and not chicken base (they have a real chicken one, too ;) on hand.

Wouldn't even try it. The quinoa cupcakes I made for Piper's birthday he at least took a bite of, but wouldn't go any further than that.
