Blizzard Survival Guide

If you are anywhere on the East Coast, I am guessing that you have a wee bit of snow outside your windows.  Here in Baltimore we have a good 2 to 2 1/2 feet going.  Luckily, we had a  lot of advanced warning about good ol'Jonas so I was able to prepare accordingly.  

In full on, Blizzard Extravaganza spirit, the main man and I have definitely been indulging with what we are eating.  So after days of all of the snacks, we need to get our eating back on track.  The problem is is that getting to the grocery store will be a little difficult.  So I've put together a list of things that I consider "essential items" that you should have in your pantry in order to survive any "I can't get myself to the grocery" weeks.  

In the pantry:
Canned Beans
Canned Tomatoes (sauce, diced, crushed)
Tomato Paste
Pasta
Olives
Capers
Rice
Quinoa 
Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Flour
Sugar
Salt
Baking Powder
Baking Soda
Bread/Tortillas
Salsa


In the fridge:
Milk (almond/cow/whatever)
Butter 
Cheese
Chicken 

In the freezer:
Shrimp
Vegetables
Ground Beef

By having most of these items on hand, you will be able to create a variety of recipes!  I always like to stock up when some of my staple items are on sale so that I have a good amount of them at my disposal.
