It's a stock your pantry party!

Let's face it, a stocked pantry doesn't mean a WELL stocked pantry. You can have hundreds of items tucked away in your cupboards and cabinets, but nothing to make with them. I keep the same items in my pantry at all times...these are the staples to making any meal, anytime. I am always coming across new things - and you will too! 

Here are the items you must have to be a menu manipulating master :-)...

Fat free Greek yogurt (or vegan sour cream)
Vanilla Almond milk (no sugar added)
Original Almond Milk


Braggs Aminos
Lemon juice
Jar of pre-minced garlic
Jar of Jalapenos
Ginger paste
Wasabi paste
Olive Oil Spray
Honey
Organic peanut butter (nothing but peanuts)
Individual packaged applesauce
Craisins or dried cherries
Raisins
Pistachios (shelled)
Oats
Quinoa pasta (several shapes and sizes)
Konjac noodles
Rice wrappers
Cans of beans (all types, colors & sizes)
Fat free refried black beans (canned)
Can of diced black olives
Diced tomatoes
Organic tomato soup
Vegetable broth
Avocados
Pink lady apples (or your favorite type)
Bananas

Cucumber
Bag of washed & ready green beans
Microwavable sweet potatoes
Frozen blueberries

Frozen Rice Flour pizza Crust
Frozen Edamame (shelled)
Frozen Diced Onions

Once you have a well stocked pantry you'll be whipping up a meal quicker than you can say "let's eat!"...or better yet, "bon appetite"!
