Episode 166: Preparing the Pantry for Summer

Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Today we will talk about the annual process of preparing for summer in the pantry. You see, we are moving from eating what we have stored in large part to eating fresh foods and storing the excess and with that comes the need to audit, reorganize and plan for the coming year.
