Staples to Keep On Hand

There are some staples I always keep on hand in my kitchen, just in case I don't have time to make something special. This way I always know that I can whip up a healthy meal anytime. I recommend stocking up so you won't ever be caught off guard!

Stock up on:
  • Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • In season fruits and veggies like squash, apples, bell peppers, and onions
  • Whole wheat pasta
  • Olive oil
  • Marinara sauce
  • Shrimp
  • Lettuce
  • Extra Lean Ground Turkey
The best advice I can give is to buy things like meat which freeze easily in bulk as soon as they go on sale. When you can get such versatile meal centerpieces like boneless skinless chicken breast for half price, divide them into individual sized portions and throw them into the freezer. A healthy meal is never more than a defrost cycle on the microwave away!

May your stomach be full and your grocery bill be small, wishing you warm wishes and a happy holiday season!
