Before we get started on recipes, I'd like to share a list of my favorite ingredients, which I've deemed essential and have on hand at any time. By keeping your pantry stocked, going to the store won't be a barrier to cooking after a long day at work, and you won't be dependent on special ingredients as much.
.I've organized this list by category, which is also how I organize my shopping list (minor OCD, I know):
seasonings & flavor enhancers
vegetables & fruits
meat & dairy products
canned goods
