Pantry Staples

I have to apologize (I feel like I do that a lot), this took way to long to get started. On the bright side, I have started and I really hope that this helps! Below I've compiled a list of some of my staples that I try to always have on hand for both cooking and baking. I may need to come back to these lists a few times, in case I've forgotten things. 

Cooking Staples

• Beans (black, white, kidney, chickpeas, lentils)
• Brown rice
• Quinoa
• Spices
• Nuts (also for baking!)
• Chicken and beef broth
• Olive oil
• Tahini
• Pasta sauce

Baking Staples

• Oats
• Oat flour
• Other flours (almond, coconut)
• Baking soda
• Baking powder
• Sweetener (the kind you use really depends on preferences)
• Coconut 
• Chocolate chips (enjoy life mini chips)
• Unsweetened applesauce
• No sugar added syrup
• Cocoa power
• Chia seeds
• Coconut oil
• Peanut butter
• True lemon
• Vanilla extract (and other extracts - almond, mint, maple)
• Parchment paper muffin cups

This is what my cupboards currently look like - mostly items that I use, and a few random things that are Lee's. I can't wait to have a big kitchen with TONS of storage so I can be extremely organized all the time. For now, I have chairs close on hand for when I need to climb up and find stuff hidden in the back.
