As part of the Stock a Healthier Pantry for $50 promotion, Whole Foods Market will be giving away healthy pantry staples for a year as well as several of their $50 Pantry Stock Ups. You can enter on the Whole Foods Blog until January 31^st.

I too have committed to the healthy pantry challenge and will be spending this next week posting some of the recipes I’ve prepared  using the Whole Foods Market Pantry Stock-Ups.

As part of the promotion, I will be giving away a $50 gift certificate to the Whole Foods Market in Durham, NC. All you have to do is subscribe to my blog, leave a comment that you have done so and tell me what healthy pantry staple you can’t live without. Deadline to enter is January 31^st and the winner announced Feb 3rd.

So let’s kick-off the New Year with a commitment to eat healthy and affordably.
