The Well-Stocked Pantry -Your Secret Weapon when You Want to Cook

 It’s easy to cook up a storm if you have at hand what you need. Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to assemble the secret weapon of any good cook – a well stocked pantry.

Knowing that you’ve got what you need on hand makes cooking much simpler and enjoyable.  There’s nothing worse than having to break off an inspired cooking project for a safari to the grocery store. 

As an added bonus, you’ll always be prepared when that unexpected guest drops by.  You’ll be nominated for the "Host/Hostess with the Most/Mostest" over and over again.  You’ll also feel better knowing you’ve got everything from soup to nuts on hand!

You'll be able to make any and every guest feel welcome because, whether it is appetizers for two or dinner for ten, you can handle it with style and class. Your reputation – and your sanity – will be assured, because with the following list of things in your pantry, you can put together beautiful and tasty food that is beautifully presented in just minutes, easily and quickly.

In this article we’ve done all the hard work for you by compiling a list of what a well stocked pantry looks like.

Hint: A great way to stock your pantry is to buy one or two things on the list each time you go shopping, rather than trying to get it all at once. If you take advantage of seasonal buys and watch the sales, you'll be able to save money as well!

Remember to rotate everything in your pantry on a regular basis so things don’t go stale or expire, and adjust the items on this list to suit your family's and guests likes and dislikes.
