Pantry Staples
Having a well-stocked fridge and pantry are a huge help in preparing healthy, tasty food on a regular basis. If you routinely come home to a fridge devoid of food apart from condiments and that container of who knows what from who knows when, chances are you’ll be reaching for the delivery menus more than you’d like.
Here are a list of my favourite staples for whipping up a quick and healthy meal.
Fridge Milk (soy, cow or goat) (lowfat) Yogurt (soy, cow or goat) Parmesan (vegan or regular)Hummous Carrots Spinach Lemons Apples Fresh parsley
Non-refrigerated Onions Garlic Sweet Potato or squash
Ginger
Pantry Basmatic Rice Brown Rice Red Lentils Tinned tomatoes Mustard Dried or tinned black beans, cannellini beans or kidney beans Soy sauce Apple cider vinegar Olive Oil Honey Nuts - walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds Spices
Good quality sea salt Black Pepper Sage Thyme Paprika Cumin Mustard seeds Cinnamon
And my secret indulgence? Vegetarian chicken nuggets in the freezer!

Nice list. I would add rolled oats, pasta, good olives, all-fruit preserves, and a variety of dried fruit. Maybe eggs.
