Open thread: Nutrition IQ and pantry basics

Being Mrs. Q has changed my life. I’m smarter about nutrition and I’m doing more “from scratch” cooking. My husband can’t cook and as such I am the only one responsible for putting a meal on the table. I’ve always done my best, but doing the blog has forced me to challenge myself.

I love that you, my readers, have helped raise my nutrition IQ.

We have discussed the contents of my crisper and the mystery of Fluff. I’m wondering what ingredients you keep close at hand in your cupboards. Do you meal plan? How many standard meals do you have by week? How do you grocery shop? What pantry basics are vital? Please further enlighten me.
