Honest is a good brand. Organic brands without added sugar should be what you look for.

Very curious what brand/type of juice boxes you use. This is a major struggle at Birthday parties. I bought some Honest Company ones yesterday to take as a substitute, but am curious what brand you use..

In reply to Christie. I found a place that sells candy sweetened with xylitol. Dr. John's simplyxylitol . We find them quite delicious around our house.The bag has assorted fruit flavored hard candy.Cherry orange..Almost sounded like an ad there. lol but it sure will keep u from having a huge dentist bill each year from sugar rot.

In reply to Lisa. I was happy to find this fruit spread listed as available in my local Wegmans, but also saw there is citric acid listed, which is on the printable list of foods to avoid (derived from GMO-risk crops). I know that any step in the right direction is good (this in particular is not something I eat everyday anyway), but sheesh, why do THEY have to make it so hard to eat real food?

In reply to Chisty. Hi Chisty. My whole wheat flour goes in an airtight glass container in my fridge as soon as it comes home from the store. You can use a large zipper bag, too. If it is no longer good, it might smell a little off. If you put a pinch of it on your tongue, it might taste bitter or sour. It won't make you sick. It just won't taste great. ~Amy

I didn't know that either about the flour...I buy the king arthurs white whole wheat flour and I've had it in my pantry for at least a month now..wonder if it's too late to put it in the freezer (how do you know it's bad)? And how do you store it in the freezer? Right now it's just still in the bag it came in..do I need to pour it into something like a container (plastic container or bag?) then put it in the freezer? What do you store yours in?

Im seeing alot of comments on storing your whole wheat flour in the freezer.Its my understanding that you can store the whole wheat berry at room temp for years. Also when you purchase whole wheat flour it has already lost some of its precious nutrients. So I grid mine and use within three days.

I just found your blog and have been enjoying reading it the last few days. My family does probably 90% real food, but I'm not a total stickler about it. We always eat whole wheat pasta and I just wanted to point out that Barilla Plus (pictured in your pantry above) is not whole grain, Barilla does make a whole wheat pasta, but that is not what is in your pantry. I'm not trying to criticize, just provide information for others wanting to make a switch to real food.

In reply to Kate. We've had those shelves for years (and love them) so I am not 100% sure where we got them, but probably at either Home Depot or Lowes. I hope that helps! :)

Just wondering where you got the white wire shelving for the doors in your super organized pantry!!
Thanks
