[@awakeningalignment]

I love all the cute funny moments and your facial expressions in this video 😂 I feel like we got to really see your personality come through more and it was so fun! Haha.

[@sushreeshashwata]

Yes even the pauses like at the Olive oil. Seems more raw.

[@NHOO628]

I loved your face for the maple syrup!!!!almost finished it and now you understand that😄 it was funny 😄

[@Elsa-xoxo]

I've got almost everything on your list as well! In addition to that, I always have dried red lentils in my pantry to add to soups, stews and curries. They breakdown when they cook and thicken the liquids as well as adding tons of nutrition. Yums. :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

I loveeee red lentils! They have such a good flavour

[@JessicaTang9202019]

Hi Meghan i just want want to know how you made coconut milk and chia seeds pudding.I’m also love using coconut milk for cooking curry 🥰

[@elena_a-2023]

Thank you Meghan! Great ideas for the pantry!

[@irisl7817]

Loved your reactions to the maple syrup and cocoa powder. Maple syrup is not for me, so I keep locally sourced honey in my pantry instead. It does not need to be refrigerated. I also keep a few varieties of beans (including chickpeas), cans/jars of tomato-something, quinoa, almond butter, oats, cocoa and chocolate chips (yes both are staples), rice, one variety of short pasta, olive oil, avocado oil (which can be used at higher temperatures than olive oil, and a variety of vinegars. If I run out of any one of these it is put on my grocery list right away.

[@-greentoad]

Sometimes I like Tuna straight out of the can with some cottage cheese and sliced tomatoes. So good. But my favorite is tuna sandwich on oat bread. Great video on all your staples.

[@denisemarrero5250]

Quinoa is one i use alot..love to throw it in my soups

[@suer292]

Would love to see some recipes. Enjoyed your pantry staples 🌿

[@Francescadbg]

Pasta salad recipe please! Also oatmeal recipe as well… trying to get the hubby to eat oatmeal… tried making him with mylk, cinnamon and seeds and he said they’re edible but he doesn’t like it 😞. I love mine cacao but he hates chocolate 😔.

[@linanilssonofficial]

Such a good video :) Would be interesting to see the same with your fridge! xx

[@robyn3083]

I have all these things pretty much in my pantry too!

[@lisaewald494]

Hi Meghan My sister gets maple syrup from a Omish country by where she lives and she sent me a huge bottle she told me you have to refrigerate it after you open it to prevent it from getting mold.. nice video...

[@sarahthatcher123]

I would like to see a idea on how to save on groceries. ‘Healthy groceries cost so much and the cost keeps rising. Also, something more ‘advanced’ then just shop sales and meal plan.

[@andrea9797mdd]

Penne is my favourite! I usually eat brown rice pasta. And yes, maple syrup should most certainly be refrigerated once opened.

[@karengraves3900]

Great topic! Some staples of mine are nut butter, pasta (of course!), canned beans, diced tomatoes, and pasta sauce. Fav pasta is probably penne!

[@stenaglia5753]

My go to is spaghettini! My always reach for is Hemp Hearts, nuts, sunflower seeds and tri coloured quinoa

[@meghanlivingstone]

Ohh yes spaghettini is so good!

[@lynflom125]

I'm reaching for flaxseeds to add into my meals.

[@ariannarivera5683]

great video!!! would love more recipes with these items also i love your shirt(:

[@leonoresalmantine]

Fusilli are also my favorite type of pastas ^^ I think we have very similar pantry staples ;) and it's always nice to spend some time on your channel 🌞

[@roxanyeli5274]

Most enjoyable video ever!

[@truthandbeautyco]

I love pasta, the fusilli noodles have a great texture

[@Mya-Elba]

Omg I've never ever refrigerated maple sirup either and i had the same reaction as you when you said it

[@CountryloverCountrylover]

Love this video, I have all your choices, but would also add capers olives and anchovies, which I use a lot when making pasta sauces. My favourite pasta is penne, currently though I’m having a love affair with Casarecce

[@aloras405]

My favorite pasta is fusilli as well.

[@ashm4738]

I always have lentils, coconut milk, tuna, chickpeas (both dried and canned), split yellow mung beans, chicken and vegetable broths (for those days when I don't want or have time to make it from scratch), nuts and seeds, buckwheat, local honey, EVOO, coconut and sesame oils, all kinds of vinegars, basmati, and lentil/chickpea pasta (I rarely eat pasta, but it's easy to throw together when I'm not in a cooking mood). I also usually have dates and dried, unsweetened or naturally sweetened cranberries. P.S. my favourite pasta shape is farfalle, but chickpea/lentil pastas don't come that way here, so I usually get the fusilli. :) Thank you for sharing!

[@arlenecoury9976]

Pantry staples ... coconut oil, Bin/Bulk ki items such as herbs, spices and dried fruit. Balsamic vinegar, Israeli couscous, unsweetened applesauce( to use in place of veg oils when baking) Raw honey ( preferably local) and Organic coconut sugar.

[@hollyjordan1307]

Thanks for the Oat milk mention. Was wondering how that one tastes. I've been using Suzie's from Costco and it's great in tea also.

[@lindaelliott3444]

Items I always have are tuna, canned beans, shredded wheat cereal no sugar and rice pasta. I especially love the fusilli shape.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Great staples :) Fusilli is the best!

[@8randomprettysecret8]

Thanks for sharing these insights are cool healthy and pretty foods

[@carriefry8847]

Thx for sharing! 💗

[@annettetice9952]

LOVE maple syrup too Meghan. The BEST!

[@laurieanne3075]

I like almond butter, ACV and farfalle (bow tie) pasta. I also like sesame oil and coconut aminos because I love Asian food. :)

[@littlebit6147]

I have never, ever refrigerated maple syrup either! I mean, the trees sit out in all of the elements of nature, right? LOL!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Haha exactly!

[@FaithWolper]

Haha. Remember sap is not the same as syrup! 😜

[@Lennie6357]

I don’t refrigerate mine either! I actually like mine room temperature.

[@nicoledupuis5207]

I love that oat milk too!!

[@maybe800]

Perfect video - thanks!!

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Meghan staples in our house are oats, pasta, beans, veggie broth, cocnut milk, nutritional yeast, flax meal, peanut butter to name a few ❤

[@emmalechat21]

Lol the maple syrup realization part 😂

[@gingerl3146]

We have the same pantry staples! Love it haha 💗

[@meghanlivingstone]

Haha yay!

[@nancyjb7080]

I have a lot of your items in my pantry- and maple syrup is the BEST!! and I like farfale the best :-)

[@crucianlam3425]

nice list. do you use a online or delivery service? or which store you frequent?

[@paulamoors]

My favorite pasta is linguine, gluten free of course.

[@lynflom125]

I put all my nuts, seeds, maple syrup and other things that I can't think of right now, in the fridge.

[@heliamartins3378]

Ahahahah maple syrup it’s sweet that’s why u love it 😍 rice syrup it’s nice too and cooked doesn’t lose the sweetness xx

[@nowellburick6115]

I literally just read that on my maple syrup the other day! Never have before, I threw it in the fridge. Lol

[@cherly-annmakok2744]

Recipe ideas from your pantry staples please.

[@stephaniemannreed1224]

Please can you tell me what blender you have? My glass one is so heavy I can barely lift it!

[@hastih3067]

Thanks for this wonderful video, Meghan. I only used to eat canned tuna because it smells less of sea food! 😃🙈 but I read on the Canada food safety page (government of canada website) that canned tuna has the “potential for exposure to higher levels of mercury than is considered acceptable”. What’s your take on this? 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@foreverone546]

Yeah, it does. I personally experienced headaches after eating tuna and then i read it was caused by mercury. (I never get headaches) So therefore, i don’t eat tuna at all. Whether its canned or frozen or fresh. There are other delicious seafood to eat besides tuna.

[@jessicastanforth-sheher6198]

Depends on the source.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yes tuna can contain mercury, specifically larger species like Albacore tuna, so it's something to be aware of. However I personally like to buy 'chunk light tuna' which is skipjack, a smaller species and has lower levels. Even still I don't eat tuna all the time, just here and there. But I do like to have it in my pantry!

[@kayleedorney9257]

Haha! I too, learned this you are suppose to refrigerate your Maple syrup. 😅

[@forestbathing4443]

👍👍👍so helpful 😀

[@usmanafzal5719]

Very nice

[@foreverone546]

Hi, Can you share some recipes that use cocoa powder, (and that’s not baking ahaha, i don’t really enjoy baking) thanks.

[@simplementsarahsimplysarah3544]

I love to use it in energy balls! Pitted dates, chia seeds, coconut oil, hemp seeds (not mandatory) and cocoa powder . Add a little bit of maple syrup if you like! In a smoothie too!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Date balls are definitely a great way to use cacao! I have a recipe for them on my blog. Also things like hot chocolate or homemade chocolate milk are great, and in smoothies or chia pudding!

[@jessicacarpentier4124]

We always have dried fruit on hand

[@florenceb1537]

What is the difference between the cans of coconut milk & the cartons? Thanks M

[@florenceb1537]

Yummy Canadian maple syrup!

[@kathyl.8759]

Do you ever cook your tuna?. I'm afraid to eat tuna raw cause awhile back I had a bad case of e-coili..

[@meghanlivingstone]

Oh no! Was it canned tuna? I've never cooked canned tuna before and it's typically been pre-cooked.

[@suefox7284]

OMG! I have every single item in my pantry

[@heliamartins3378]

I do like tou Meghan you r very special and funny 😄

[@heliamartins3378]

I heard olive oil can be acidic if boiled ?

[@karenmalilay8318]

Taking notes :)

[@beccascraps8141]

when my son was little he called Fusilli "Slide pasta" :D

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hahah I love that!

[@laurahoman7083]

I never refrigerated my maple syrup either... until I had to throw out a large bottle high quality, expensive syrup full of nasty mold.

[@TheAcatoy]

Once I didn't refrigerate my maple syrup and it got mouldy :(

[@meghanlivingstone]

Oh no! :(

[@rainetm345]

Rice. You said big ol’ bag but as a an Asian, 50kg sack of rice is normal hahahaha

[@Francescadbg]

Hahahah was just thinking the same… was thinking, that’s the smallest bag hahaha.

[@MarinaCrachi]

I've never refrigerated maple syrup, I can't believe something full of sugar will get moldy or something like this 😂

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yeah I didn't realize it should be kept in the fridge!

[@PlumebeautyDunsborough]

I never kept mine in the fridge till it went off , I thought it was a bad batch and then it did it again . So it’s in the fridge now . But I grew up with it in the cupboard so not sure what’s going on x

[@katiebenson5193]

i never refrigerate my maple syrup either and i dont refrigerate my nuts or seeds either so.... yalol

[@jonip83]

Is Meghan no longer paleo?

[@sandysimmer1279]

Linguine..

[@rebeccaa9691]

It's really funny hearing PEOPLE being called Gluten Free not just the products 🤣 It is true because they don't eat gluten 😅

[@bridgetmcgrath3964]

👏👏❤️

[@paulamoors]

Refrigerate maple syrup? Yikes, and we are still alive.

[@marie-andreehould9859]

How, as a Canadian, did you not know that maple syrup has to be refrigerated!? 😅

[@KamoreeLove]

I want to try chia seeds but tmi I feel like they will make me run to the bathroom or constipated😬 can people give me their experience with chia seeds

[@mhspeaks]

Hey no one has answered u so just fyi ive had zero issues. It does have a lot of fiber so if you don’t eat much fiber just don’t eat a ton to start. 2 tablespoons and 1/2 cup of any milk makes chia pudding. I usually eat chia seeds that way and don’t eat more than that in a day. I also add yogurt sometimes. Chia pudding is great! You could always just eat half one day and half the next if you are worried its too much.
