Cooking & Baking

(18,755 posts)Im not much of a cook in the best of times so Ive gone for easy things. I havent eaten animal products in many years so I dont need to plan for those perishable items.
Canned soups, vegetables and fruit
Powdered veggie broths
Dried beans and lentil and split pea soup mixes. They dont take up much room and easy to cook in a crock pot
Pasta/gnocci/cornmeal for polenta and sauces in jars
Rice
Peanut butter and jams
Boxed non-refrigerated plant based milks.
Some bulk items that are advertised as 25 year shelf life like potato shreds, flour, rice and black bean burger mix. I have watched for sales and have added these items to the pantry then.
First aid and OTC meds and vitamins.
Batteries
Extra bottled water
Extra Kcups for coffee, I recently read they stay good for a very long time if stored properly
Climate change and ensuing extreme weather has been my biggest motivation to build up the pantry, the havoc/chaos TSF will create is another good reason.
