Our cupboard pantry is a mainstay in the home. It houses our family calendar, staple ingredients, our kitchen gadgets, and during Covid-19, provided a space for homeschool classroom presentations.
Staple Ingredients for Your Recipes
Everyone has staple ingredients that they pull on again and again for recipes. I keep these goodies in my cupboard as an answer to last minute quick dinner fixes, Covid supply chain issues, and mainly because it simplifies my shopping. Keeping cupboard staples on hand makes grocery shopping so much easier. When you are low on a particular item, you add it to the list regardless of your meal plans for the week. Why? You will use them.
Grocery Lists At Your Fingertips
I like to keep my list connected through Alexa, my Amazon Echo. Gone are the days (and there have been many) in which I forget my shopping list. With Alexa I can add items no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I just say, “Alexa, add smoked gouda to the list”!
By keeping staple ingredients on hand you can spend more time with the people you love, or doing the things you love, or both and less time meal planning and shopping.
