I'm an avid cook so I keep my pantry fairly well stocked at all times. I'm amazed at how so many people don't have a "pantry stock"! This is the key to being able to pull the rabbit out of the hat when life throws you a curve ball. You can find a ton of printable lists on the internet with so many different items - but I'm going to give you my simple lists of items I stock. Some of the things I absolutely must have you may not need. Realize this is just a suggestion, not a hard core set in stone list. For example, I hate english peas. So you won't find 5 cans of them in my pantry, etc. We will also go over how to stock your fridge and freezer in later blog posts
Cereal
Oatmeal
Beans (kidney, black, pinto, etc.)

Salad dressing
Barbeque sauce

Savory
Coriander
Garlic
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Cloves, ground
Allspice
Nutmeg
Ginger, ground
Cinnamon
Cumin
Black pepper
Dill
Bay leaves
Chili powder
Dry mustard
Obviously you shouldn't go out and buy this all at once but it is a good list to have. I'd also throw in some enchilada sauces, rotel, taco seasoning, paprika, liquid smoke etc. But this gives you a basic idea. Watch your local sales papers and stock up on things you use a lot. That way you will not have to constantly run to the store when it's time to cook. Hope this is useful!
