No-Cook
Meals
A well-stocked pantry is essential for making delicious meals without cooking.
The February and March, 2005 issues of Celebrate! featured information on
stocking and using a healthy pantry. If you would like a copy, send a
self-addressed, business size envelope to Linda Rellergert at the address on
page one.

store with healthy kitchen staples.
