Pantry Guide for Transitions, Moves & Fresh Starts

Whether you’re heading into a new apartment, moving back home for the summer, or just trying to get your kitchen act together between classes and work—this one’s for you.

Transitions like moving, starting an internship, or just trying to eat something other than takeout can throw your routine out of whack. That’s why I created this Staple Pantry Items Handout—a no-fuss guide to building a flexible, functional pantry that can carry you through busy weeks, weird schedules, and even the “what the heck do I make with this?” moments.

From simple grains and proteins to flavor-boosting essentials and budget-friendly go-tos, these items can help you throw together meals that are satisfying, nourishing, and don’t require a culinary degree (or a ton of fridge space). This list works whether you’re an athlete, a student, or someone just trying to build momentum with food again.

Moving is chaotic but feeding yourself doesn’t have to be. Grab the handout and set yourself up with staples that actually work.
