Since my family and I are going out to eat at Olive Garden with friends this evening, I thought I would take today's post to just share a few tips on stocking your food cabinets. Keeping a well-stocked cupboard will make things much simpler when you are trying to throw a meal together during the twenty minutes of calm your baby gives you a day.
Foods to always keep on hand:
bulb of garlic
onions (at least one or two of whichever kind suit your personal tastes)
red or yellow potatoes
sweet potatoes/yams (at least 2)
frozen peas
frozen corn
canned or boxed beef and chicken broth, or bouillon cubes
A well-stocked spice rack (including most, if not all, of the spice jars that you can find at your nearest Wal-Mart. I say this for people who may be afraid to spend too much on spices)
carrots: a bag of baby or a package of regular ones
eggs
milk
cornstarch or flour
white and brown sugar
It may seem like a lot, but this stuff will probably only take up one shelf in your cupboard, and combined with just about ANY meat you can easily use these to make a delicious dinner any night of the week!
