A pantry is much like a wardrobe - it can be full of clothes but no outfits, or it can have many hardworking basics that make hundreds of outfits quickly without too much thought or fuss.
If you have a pantry, fridge and/or freezer stocked with a few basics foods you can cook up delicious healthy meals in hurry. You will also find that you save hundreds of dollars a year by not resorting to take outs or meals out because you have nothing to cook. If you think about it, most meals start with a base protein, a starch is added then a few “extra” ingredients which give the dish flavour, identity or name. An good example of this is lemon pepper chicken with rice.
