What do you always have on hand? Why?

I’d count refrigerated items as pantry staples if they keep for longer than a couple weeks.

One recent addition to my pantry has been dried chillies - great base for red chile sauce for enchiladas. Those plus maseca and some beans (also both staples) and I have a base for amazing enchiladas or tacos or whatever.

    194 boxes of penne, because you can’t remember if there’s any left and you might as well pick some up while you’re here.

      Relatable lol. For me it’s salt and oil, can’t ever remember how much I have but wouldn’t want to run out. I also have way more beans than anyone needs in their house.

        My mother does this and as soon as there’s an apocalypse she’ll be vindicated.
