What's in Your Pantry

I received a lot of emails from people sharing with me what was in their pantry.  I thought I would share some of them with you.  There seems to be a core group of items that many people have in their pantry such as flour, sugar, pasta, peanut butter, jelly and so on but each person also shared the pantry items that was unique to them.  Those were the items I found interesting because it gave insight in to the type of cooking they did.  I will be sharing some of the feedback with you starting with comments from Mrs. Bear.  See below

 As I try and learn to cook new dishes I find that the food items I stock in my pantry is gradually changing.  I also am trying to buy things I know I am going to need so that my pantry is more organized.  For me this is a very hard thing to do because I like to go to the grocery store and buy interesting things that I never seem to use.  I am a work in progress.

This is a response from Mrs. Bear

I always have oatmeal, bran flakes, corn meal and good old chicken noodle soup in my pantry.  (just in case I need a good dose of sodium and I’m too lazy to make it from scratch) pasta, tomato sauce, grits, vegetarian baked beans, tuna, creamy peanut butter, black beans, tea, flour, sugar, brown sugar, bread crumbs, saltines, wheat thins and lots of other stuff that I probably don’t need.

Thank you to everyone who shared your pantry with me.  I will include other pantries is future posts.
