When it comes to kitchen staples, there are some products that I like to always keep on hand. Having what I need to make delicious, made-from-scratch meals makes a big difference in both our health and our budget!
1. Meat
OK, this may seem like a no-brainer. But, seriously, unless you are a vegetarian family, it’s very difficult to make dinner without some type of meat on hand! My husband is a huge meat-and-potatoes man, so this is a must-have at our house!
2. Dairy
It is very hard to make baked goods without some kind of milk. And cheese…well, cheese makes just about any meal better! Although my family is mostly dairy-free right now, when we are eating dairy, plenty of cheese is an absolute staple!
3. Produce
Most Americans do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. I have been trying to make a point to keep more in my fridge, so we have no excuse not to eat plenty of fresh produce! And, of course, every meal with a meat base needs some yummy veggie sides!
4. Coffee
OK, well this is solely for Mama in this house (hubby is a sweet tea drinker himself!), but having coffee on hand is a MUST-HAVE at our house! I only drink one cup per day, but without that cup…well, you may want to keep your distance. 😉

Actually, Kroger does carry organic items. 🙂

We always have cereal for breakfasts, tortillas or burrito shells with beans for quick easy lunches, and some kind of pizza in case we need dinner in a hurry. I try to keep lots of fruits and veggies at home too, but we go through them really quickly….

I like to keep beans on hand as well. Hmmmm…now I am hungry for some burritos! Ha! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
