Pantry Staples List for Thanksgiving

Last week I shared with you how our Thanksgiving last year was a bust! Our whole family sick. At home. No big dinner!?

Yet we rallied and pulled together a hacked Thanksgiving dinner for the four of us (complete with chicken substitute!).

What a blessing it was to be able to pull all the basic Thanksgiving favorites together quickly from what I had in my pantry. If I was out of something, I had plenty to substitute (you may want to check out my 5 Spice Blends for Thanksgiving in case you find yourself in a pinch as you’re baking and cooking!).

Whole Foods sent me a box full of Thanksgiving samples and asked me to share them with you. I was immediately reminded how having a well-stocked pantry truly is the key to solving most kitchen emergencies!

For special holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, there’s a few other items I like to stock up on, just in case we’re called on to bring a last minute side dish, make a meal for a sick family (which, in last year’s case happened to be MINE!).

Fortunately, stocking your pantry doesn’t have to cost a fortune, as long as you stick to basic items that you’ll use regularly!
