WLS /GBS Essentials

Sometimes I feel like my cooking life takes two different directions. My kitchen is full of non wls lifestyle foods and even more wls lifestyle foods. I still LOVE to bake for the loved ones in my life as well as co-workers, etc. Baking is stress relief for me plus it makes me feel good inside to know that others enjoy my baking. So all that being said, I have pantry full of goodies to make baked goods and foods for others and a new seperate essentials list for my wls lifestyle change.

Here are my ESSENTIAL items to lead a fantastic WLS/ GBS lifestyle:
