Pantry List

Have you ever been excited to make something at home and realise that you're missing a few things? It happens to me a lot. I hate it. A few years ago I ran into an article that listed the things that you should always have in your pantry. As you can see, I never did that, I always say I need to whenever I find myself having to run out for one item that I only need 1/2 a tablespoon of.

After searching the internet a bit i found this article that not only gives you a nice pantry listing. It also helps with how to stock your pantry. Another thing I don't follow.
