While making dinner last night, I went to the cupboard to discover we didn't have any mushrooms. What? No mushrooms! This has never happened! We always have some in the cabinet. How do I prepare dinner without them? What will this meal be like without the mushrooms?! If you hadn't caught on, we like mushrooms at our house...just a little. In fact, they are a staple in our kitchen.
This had me checking some other things in the fridge, cupboards and pantry. I've been a little busy lately and a few things slip my mind when making runs to Kroger. As in forgetting to pick up garbage bags on trash day. Whoops. That was a big inconvenience, let me tell you!
So I started thinking about what some of our staple items are and thought I would share with you a few things will find in our kitchen at almost all times.
- Mushroom (we like 'em)
- Nutella (I can't believe I didn't try this sooner. This stuff is AMAZING)
- BREAD!
- Bananas (seriously, we go through them entirely too fast)
- Garlic (minced)
- Salsa (I love it--on lots of things)
- String Cheese (because its super fun!)
- Kraft Singles (does this one need an explanation?)
- Pancake mix (flavors may change, but I'd be lost without it)
- Chicken--of any kind (breasts, nuggets, stuffed, salad strips...)
- Macaroni and cheese (It's the cheesiest)
- Tuna fish (love it)
- fruit cups (because sometimes they are just easier than buying the "real" thing and cutting it up daily)
- Nestle Quick (chocolate milk is essential)
- Tortillas (if we have chicken, cheese and salsa at all times AND a quesadilla maker, then it only makes sense to have tortillas for a quick snack...or dinner meal)
There's the basics. I'm sure there are more, but these came to mind immediately. I look forward to doing this again in 6 months or so and seeing what, if anything, changes.
