pantry



there are certain things i always keep on hand for those busy nights when sometimes things don't go as planned and i don't make the dinner i had been planning or i screw it up or i get home super late because of traffic so i need to toss something together quickly.. i typically shop every sunday for the week, i plan my meals for each day and i usually try to plan meals that use some of the same ingredients...

top cabinet of my pantry is mostly baking items.. now i don't bake alot, except at christmas when i become a baking fool.. but i like to have items on hand for the "in case" and yes i had it happen once when jake says oh by the way mom we are having a bake sale for student counsel (he was school president his senior year) my reply ohh really when? umm tomorrow and i need 3 dozen cookies.. yes it was 9:00 at night!!
