Pantry Perfection

Tired of always stopping by the store every night to buy the ingredients you need?  Avoid this stress by keeping a well-stocked pantry, so you don’t feel strapped for essentials at the last moment.  Here are some of QuickYumm’s favorite pantry picks.

• Rice (or any other grain you love, like quinoa or couscous)
• Pasta
• Basic Spices (salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, oregano, cumin, thyme, sage, sugar…the list goes on! The more you can add, the better.)
• Onions (keep variety of red and yellow on hand)
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• A jar of good pasta sauce
• Canned beans (cannellini, black, kidney- these can be used in a variety of ways)
