We are never going hungry at my house - we might not have whatever it is we are craving, but we definitely have food. Lots of food - though Aidan will tell me "we don't have anything to eat" at least 5x a week :)Here is what I always have on hand, ensuring we always have a quick meal option available (in addition to whatever fresh fruits and vegetables are in season and available):
- Eggs
- Pancake Mix (the "add water" kind)
- Pasta
- Tomato Sauce
- Cheese (always lots of cheese, have I told you I love cheese?)
- Butter
- Milk
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Syrup
- Vegetable Oil
- Canned Tuna
- Minute Rice
- Oatmeal
- Frozen rolls
- Ramen
- Bisquick
- Flour
- Sugar
- Peanut Butter
- Various seasonings and condiments
- Boneless pork chops, I buy when on sale in family packs, and then freeze in packs of 2-3 ea
- Frozen Shrimp, I recommend the easy peel, uncooked variety
- Chicken breasts and/or thighs, boneless and skinless
- Ground beef
- Salmon, I buy the large fillets and cut those into 2-3" wide fillets, and freeze individually
I've been purchasing milk from Dollar Tree that comes in cartons like almond milk or broth comes in. They are shelf stable, so I never run out of milk.
