The Power of your Pantry Part 2/Challenge week # 4 Update

Hello Everyone,

So we have made it to the fourth week of our Home Independence Challenge. This is also the second part of our Power of your Pantry Series

So we have been focusing on Meal Preparation for our homes.  Everyone knows that in order to have  successful Meal Planning you need to have the vital ingredients or acceptable substitutes in your pantry. That is where having a Master Pantry List can really help you out.

It also can really simplify your shopping, since as you use things from your pantry you can easily see what is needed to replenish your stock.


CONDIMENTS:
prepared mustard
ketchup
pickles
mayonnaise
salsa
white and cider vinegar
marinades


GRAINS:
White Rice
Brown rice
Rolled Oats

BEANS - Canned and Dried
*honestly I don't normally have beans in the house. I will go and purchase them when I am in need. Otherwise they simply take up space for months at a time in the pantry


PASTAS:
spaghetti
lasagna
elbow
bow ties
wagon wheels
noodles
ziti


NUTS:
*again I purchase these as necessary


SOUPS (Canned or Dry)
chicken and rice
vegetable beef
chicken noodle
Soup sippers-coming soon Homemade Recipes

TEAS AND COFFEE

Once you get your pantry set up there is no limit to the things you can create. Never again worry about the phone call that company is coming over and you have nothing to serve.
