Staples to Have ALL THE TIME. . .

There are a number of ingredients one needs for virtually every recipe, or really, one can make into something good if you just have these staples.  Make sure your pantry always includes:
*onions
*celery
*potatoes
*garlic salt, pepper, seasoned salt
*chicken, beef (and pork for variety) broth, bouillon
*olive oil, butter or canola oil
*flour
*rice, pasta, Kashi grains - any kind of starch (wheat pasta if you can- better for ya)
*canned goods - chopped tomatoes, corn, beans (black beans, kidney beans), spaghetti sauces, couple cans of cream of soups
*frozen veggies - whatever you like
*meat - hamburger, wild game (we like venison), chicken, pork chops, ring baloney, bacon
*eggs
*bread
*mayo
*beans - black, kidney, whatever. . . canned
*oatmeal
You can throw together almost any meal if you have these items.

Gracie's Cookin!

Grace was cravin' cinnamon rolls.  Bein' none of us actually had the gumption to make the real stuff, she bundled up and headed to Hugos for a can of Pillsbury stick-in-the oven rolls.

"Did you know the rolls with cream cheese frosting have only 9 grams of fat and the regular ones have 19?"  she asks me. "How can that be?"  This look of complete befuddlement on her face.  Honestly, the girl does NOT need to be worrying about fat grams.

Grampa walked in the door with Dad - the snowmobile race was cancelled on account of being to windy out.  Lucky we had some rolls in the oven.  Grampa doesn't really care if they are rolls from a can either (or the fat grams).
