Every kitchen needs building blocks to ensure culinary success. There is nothing worse than promising your kids you’ll bake something or have them decide it’s time to help with the cooking and then find out you don’t have what you need. Pantry Staples are basic long lasting ingredients you should keep on hand.
Pantry staples can be bought at large discount retailers, or in bulk, and shared with friends. Don’t over buy because they don’t last forever. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from heat or your stove top.
