What Are Must Have In Your Pantry?

In ours it would be:

Different flours for breads (white, wheat, soft wheat)

Canned diced and whole peeled tomatoes.

Beans, peas and lentils, dry

Green beans (Italian flat or Le Sueur)

Green peas (Love any and all of them!)

Corn bread mix--white

Canned kernal corn and jars of white popcorn kernals

Fish--tuna, sardines and salmon,

Canned chicken breast meat

Several kinds of pasta

Onions, sweet and a few russet potatoes

 

Of these, I always have a good supply--not just one or two.  I also am omitting the hot sauces, spices, and oil and vinegars (of which I have too many!).

 

How about you?

Multi-color peppercorns:   More than "just a spice" for me

Skippy peanut butter.  Nabisco graham crackers, various forms of pasta.  We have a pretty simple "pantry"!!!  These are the "must haves."
