A stocked pantry

Ree Drummond, aka the Pioneer Woman, recently did a show and post about what items she typically keeps in her pantry, fridge and freezer. I really identified with the episode because I, too, have certain staples that I keep around. I thought I'd share them with you. Once I identified these staples, they have made my life a lot easier in the kitchen.

This list isn't all-encompassing, but these are really some key ingredients I keep around all the time. Things like milk, fruits and veggies abound in our house all the time, so I didn't choose to include them in the list. Maybe storing some of these items will help you keep a stocked pantry/fridge/freezer for your cooking needs.
