food line it up lay it out and plan it so that you have the things on hand that
you could really use to feed your family and yourself out of your pantry if you
needed to Make meals when there's nothing to eat
I like to organize all my baking goods together I keep my pastas
and rice together I like to keep fruits together with the vegetables and I
always make sure I have on hand lots of things like
soups chili raviolis canned beans and canned meats things that can really carry you
through if you needed to make a meal out of your pantry
don't forget snacks that's always an important part of everybody's meal plan
maybe you have granola bars crackers cheese in a can fruit snacks pudding
packs there are all kinds of things that you probably have on hand for snacks
figure out how many you would need for a certain number of days and portion them
out see if you have the things that your family actually will eat and make sure
that they're all still good to eat that they haven't expired or spoiled in your
cabinet then you also want to make sure that you properly store things check
over your canned goods that they're not bulging out-of-date or leaking in any
way make sure that your packaged goods are stored so that they don't become
contaminated with any kind of pantry bugs or just get stale because they're
not wrapped up properly things like chips crackers and cereal become stale
so you need to rotate those more frequently than something like pasta or
canned goods so organize your pantry make an inventory of the things you have
see how many days worth of meals you could actually make out of your pantry
and then where you see that you're missing things make sure that you
stockpile those items so you really could eat out of your pantry no matter
what comes your way make sure you also have stored plenty of
water because a lot of the food in your pantry may not be any good if you don't
have water to help prepare it plan ahead so that you always have the things that you need
