Make A List – The Well-Stocked Kitchen

When I go grocery shopping, I usually choose the recipes I plan to cook and make a list from the ingredients the recipes require.  But there are some things that I want to have on hand at all times.  Canned beans, tuna and chicken broth are some of may keep on hand items.  I like having those items handy in case I need to whip up a meal that isn't on my menu plan.

I also have always keep on hand items in my refrigerator, my freezer, my spice rack, my baking cabinet and boxed foods.  Take turns suggesting food items that should be kept on hand or restocked as soon as they run out.

We need to go grocery shopping!
