The Refined Pantry

Hey Yall! I'm Megan Spencer... also known as "Wife" and "Mom" to two wonderful kids. I was finding, more often than not, the need for healthy menu choices that didn't include those wonderful words we all love to hear (and eat) ...Fried...Breaded...Candied... Smothered! Being from Cajun country, these items are delicious, but almost hard to get away from when need be. They were leaving my family feeling over-stuffed and down right miserable. Pivoting to a healthier lifestyle, we were looking for options that satisfied and left us feeling more energized rather that wanting to head for a nap. The more I spoke with locals around, the more I realized we weren't alone. Being a former Culinary Graduate and Chef, I thought, challenge accepted!
