A College Kithcen Guide: Cupboard Classics

These are a few basics that I keep in our cupboards. Some of them may be unusual, but it is surprising how often some of them show up!

• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Bouillon cubes or undiluted stock for chicken, beef and vegetables
• Brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Cooking oil (a lot of students just pick up olive oil, but it is important to have an affordable alternative. Olive oil is also important.)
• "Cream of" soups (synonym for SAUCE. Chicken and mushroom especially.)
• Dry soups (onion is really handy)
• Dry yeast? (Look forward to bread baking in your crock pot!
  
• Honey
• Tuna
  
• Canned vegetables (we like corn)
  
• Macaroni or pasta
• Rice
• Kidney beans, dried or canned
  
• Vanilla extract
• Garlic
  
• Wheat and white flour
• Vinegar (plain, red wine, apple. Combine for a fresh smelling drain cleaner!)
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Balsamic vinegar
• Soya sauce

This list if probably the most incomplete. Everyone uses different things more than others, the trick is in the gathering.
