Freezer and Refrigerator
Frozen fruit is always in season. A stock of frozen vegetables is all you need for tasty side dishes and veggie-enhanced main courses. (Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries) (Peas, corn, broccoli, pizza dough, etc)
Frozen pasta-buy batches of ravioli and tortellini for those extra busy nights.
Condiments such as mustard, Barbecue sauce, salad dressings, pasta sauces, ketchup spike up old dishes.
Salsa will jazz up pasta, veggies, chicken breast or fish.
Butter and/or vegetable shortening
Refrigerated or frozen bread dough makes rolls and pizza crusts. Phyllo dough transforms into a pot pie topping, cheese straws, or cinnamon twists.
Vegetable bin staples: potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic
Cheese-Parmesan, Romano and other aged cheeses keep for months and make sauces, pastas, vegetables, and salads more savory. Cheddar and mozzarella can be used for everything from a tuna melt to grilled cheese to old-fashioned macaroni and cheese.
Eggs-keep in the back of the fridge were temperature is constant, eggs will last three to four weeks.
