What’s In My Kitchen?
By Sandy Sommer RKC on in Dietary & Nutritional Planning, Featured Articles
Many of you have expressed interest in my Primal eating habits so I wanted to pen a short article about that I keep on hand as a matter of course. I feel that a seasonal approach to vegetables and fruit is important for a variety of reasons. So check out this chart for some ideas about it.
My pantry:
- Coconut Oil
- Olive oil
- Coffee
- Various teas
- Almond meal or flour
- Raw nuts
- Whey supplement
- Organic diced tomato
- Organic tomato sauce
- lots of spice and dried herbs
- chicken stock
- Raw, unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Fruits and Vegetables:
- Seasonal varieties. Not much fruit but tons of vegetables
In the Fridge:
- Raw milk cheese
- Pastured eggs
- Raw Milk
- Raw Cream
- Salad bar beef
- pastured chicken
- wild salmon
- pastured pork
- venison
- nitrate free bacon
- nitrate free sausage
Please leave your thoughts and comments. I’d love to hear what you stock as a matter of course.
Train with purpose,

Add some coconut flour to that list. Among other things it’s really good for making coconut chicken.
Season thin slices of boneless chicken breast with S&P. Dip in raw whole milk or beaten egg. Dip in coconut flour. Dip back into liquid. Dip into coconut flakes (raw, unsweetened). Sauté in coconut oil.
You can do this with shrimp too. I’ve also used the coconut flour to make the banana pancakes from Mark’s Dailey Apple site and for flourless bread. I like the flourless bread because I like to “spread” things on it.

Add flax oil to that list… organic, unfilter, high lignon. 6,200 mg Omega 3s in a tablespoon. I add it to my shake every morning along with Amazing Grass (organic), which you might also want to add to the list. It’s especially good in winter when green leafy veggies are not in season in Maine! Only 2 carbs in it and it’s equivalent to lots of green leafies.

Chris, Good stuff! For me I’d lose the soy product for hormonal considerations. Also not a fan of legumes in general for the lectins.

Looks quite a bit like what’s in our house!
Additionally, I enjoy freshly ground nut and seed butters (almond, pistachio, sesame(tahini) and steel cut oats.
Do you utilize seeds in your diet? Chia, hemp, etc?
Great website!

Dear Jordan,
Thanks for stopping by. I do keep almond butter in stock but will have to give the others a shot. Thanks for the recommendations.
