I’d have an easier time writing this list for my long shelf life fridge items… various mustards, few different kinds of olives, capers… but I’ll stick to the rules!

1. pasta
2. canned tomatoes
3. few different kinds of olive oil
4. aged balsamic
5. salt & pepper (few types of each)
6. tahini
7. all spices but especially my favorite dill
8. rice/grains – brown rice, couscous, quinoa, etc
9. tuna
10. popcorn
11. dog treats

Thanks so much for sharing your pantry on Other People’s Pantries. I think we’re all voyeurs at heart. Of course I’d have a hard time picking 10 must-have pantry items, but key on the list would be salt, pepper (various types), olive oil, lemons, canned tomato, balsamic vinegar, beans, and Chinese chili paste with garlic.

It would be hard to narrow it down since we’re a family of six and everyone has their favorite dishes, but for me the list would look something like this (using your same self-imposed rules and in no particular order):

1. Flours–whole wheat and unbleached white
2. Sugars–light brown and granulated
3. Salt–RealSalt (my absolute fave)
4. Chocolate chips–semi-sweet, milk, chunks, mini and dark
5. Black beans
6. Oils–olive and canola
7. Baking powder
8. Baking soda
9. Oatmeal
10. Nesquik

Can you tell we do a lot of cookie baking and my kids have a penchant for chocolate milk?
