Cheese Tomatoes With Zucchini

Pantry Essential

Here's what I've  got in my pantry, frigerator and freezer. I wish I had this list years ago. Let’s get started.  Here's the list for the pantry...

I always have broth on hand. I always have diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste. Always have cream of mushroom soup. Always have rice and pasta. Potatoes and onions. Minced garlic. Cooking oil... olive oil, vegetable oil and cooking spray. I've got a lot of spices in my pantry. The main ones that I use are garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, crushed red pepper,  parsley flakes, italian seasoning and of course salt and pepper. Moving on to the refrigerator... milk, eggs, butter, cheese x 3, sour cream, mustard, ketchup, mayo, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions , worcestersire sauce. 

In the freezer, I have chicken, pork, ground beef, frozen vegetables and always keep frozen meal on hand for the night I just don't want to cook.  

Is there something that you have in your pantry, frigerator or freezer that's not on my list, leave me a comment below, maybe other people can get ideas.
