I'm a fan of kitchen staples. There are certain food items that can be left in my kitchen for when I have unexpected company or a crazy schedule that does not allow me to go to the store. I can always make something out of my staples in the pantry and freezer. Below is my list of must haves:
In the pantry:
- Rice or pasta
- Tomato paste
- Can of tomatoes
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Chicken stock
- Tuna
- Potato flakes
In the fridge:
- Eggs
- Onion
- Milk
- Carrots
- Random veggies
- Cheese (parmesan is a favorite since it can be added to soup)
In the freezer:
In the spice rack:
- Garlic powder
- Dill
- Italian seasonings
- Parsley
- Salt & Pepper
These simple ingredients can make soups, pasta dishes, home cookin', and fancy dishes that look like you have slaved all day. I don't use these ingredients on a daily basis but there are a lot of options when I have to make dinner in a flash.
