What are Some Food Staples to Keep in My Kitchen Cupboards?
It is a good idea to always have some food staples in your kitchen cupboards. That way, you can be sure to have the basic ingredients you need to prepare meals without having to constantly go to the store. Shopping less saves time and money. Canned goods, rice, pasta, condiments and flavorings, baking ingredients and seasonings and spices are all great food staples to keep on hand. Besides salt and pepper, you should also keep your favorite seasonings with your favorite food staples. For example, chili powder can be used to flavor either chili with meat or vegetarian chili. A dash of curry powder can liven up leftover rice. Garlic powder, basil and oregano are perfect for adding Italian and Greek flavors to foods. Ginger as well as soy sauce can bring an Asian flavor to almost any dish.
