As I laze about on this beautiful Saturday afternoon nursing a tall iced tea while making my weekly grocery list and menu, I realize it's been a while since I took stock of my pantry. Ideally, I like to make sure I have the following on hand at all times:
baking powder
baking soda
flours-wheat, white, cake & bread
sugars-white granulated, brown & confectioners
sugar substitute (I like splenda)
cocoa powder
yeast-dry active
extracts- vanilla & other flavors
oatmeal
grits
dry cereals
beans-canned & dried
pastas- variety
brown rice
canned tomatoes-variety
marinated artichokes
assorted teas
coffee
cooking oils-olive, canola, EV coconut
cooking spray
crackers
fruits-canned & dried
jams & jellies
peanut butter
canned fish- tuna, salmon, mackeral
canned soups
and my freezer "pantry" staples:
homemade stocks- chicken, beef & veggie
frozen veggies
These are just a few of the staples I like to keep handy for whipping together delicious dishes for company or just when the mood {or hunger} strikes! Of course, every household has different tastes and budgets so pantry staples can vary widely.
What do YOU keep in your pantry?

Your pantry is much better stocked than mine!! Or maybe we just run out sooner with 6 of us here!! You sound very organized.
I want to thank you for coming by and I hope you do again. I like your blog a lot. BTW, I used to sell Avon...wasn't very successful, but I did!

I'm enjoying reading through all your old posts. We keep about the same things in our pantries! Have you tried Truvia, the stevia sweetener? I got some this week for the first time and LOVE it!
