STOCKING
THE STAPLES

    As our lifestyles get busier, it becomes more important to have staples readily available in our homes to make it easier to resist convenience and takeout foods.
    Pantry lists contain two parts. The basics help you prepare most recipes. Which extras you choose to include in your pantry depend upon the type of cooking you like to do. These lists simply are a reference, and you should omit and add items as needed.
