I do have some pesto (right now radish greens ), I love the idea of peeled garlic cloves in a jar, chicken stock in the freezer, and the staples, bulgur, rice and such nearby. I am still working on getting more organize, love your list!

I have 6 of the 8 ni my pantry so I guess I”m off to a good start. I also keep low sodium chicken broth and chopped tomatoes. Both in BPA – Free packaging. Pomi’ makes good “no sodium added” chopped tomatoes. But my favorite are fire roasted. So I do that myself when I have the time.

What fun! Love your list… am dreaming about apricot jam now… I always have marmalade on hand, but it can be intense. I am a big fan of panko bread crumbs. I also love sun dried tomatoes. They seem fancy and bright to me!

Golden raisins, good quality parmesan, lots of stock (and always Better Than Bouillon in case, God forbid, I run out of stock).

Well, I had to get you to read the whole post, Tammi! And I stock tomatoes too – in shelf-stable packaging b/c I’m freaked about BPA – but always, always chopped tomatoes at Chez Semi-Sweet!

Oh, you were teasing me, leaving quinoa for last. I should look for whole wheat couscous, at least so I have an alternative when my grocer runs out of quinoa.

My pantry always has canned tomatoes, too.
