When a mother of four (with a fifth on the way) shares her time- and money-saving kitchen tips that help her day in and day out, I’m all ears. Joanna Gaines, star of the popular HGTV show Fixer Upper, outlines her pantry basics in her new book, Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering, and I made sure to drill down on specific strategies when I had a chance to meet her last month.
“On a weekly basis, a lot of the dishes that I cook use a lot of the same ingredients,” Jo (as she’s known) tells me. “I try and buy a lot of those ingredients in bulk so I’m not always going to the grocery store right before I’m set to cook.”
