What is one food staple you always have in your home to fall back on?

Diced tomatoes and tomato paste for spaghetti sauce and bread and cheddar for grilled cheese sandwiches. Okay, that's more than one but those are my sons favorite foods, I must have them all the time or I'm in trouble!

Like Krebstar I also always try to have a homestyle bake on hand. They are a great emergency, hot, fast and filling. Other staples include: Pizza dough (you can always whip up a pizza, calzone, or breadsticks) Ramen noodles (the college staple) eggs canned soup dry pasta canned/frozen veggies

Cheese it and enjoy it!:))Hmmmmmm Thank you very much for this yummy vote!

I always keep dry pasta on hand because even if there is nothing else, you can eat it with some butter. I also keep around: Homestyle Bakes Instant Mashed Potatoes Frozen veggies canned soup This way, no matter what, I can find something to eat.

I always keep a good supply of ramen noodles. They're always my favorite when I want something quick when I'm busy or too tired to cook anything.

The must have in our house is Rice, dal and potatoes. Our staple diet is Rice and therefore the above 3 things are really necessary. My hubby would go crazy if he has not had rice once a day.

Rice and beans, also pasta. I can eat just plain pasta with a little butter or oil, salt and pepper and be happy.

With us it is pretty much the same, we love spaghetti, macaroni, and Basmati rice. And you will always find onions, tomatoes, garlic and mushroom in my house, we are never without it, and off course cheese, my husband is Netherlands so cheese we will never be without.

I love to have BAsmati Rice cooked.i can eat it anytime i want to. i generally avoid noodles.

You'll always find rice, pasta and potatoes in our house and of course a couple of sauce mixes. I can eat both rice and pasta, plain with no added ingrediants! although they always taste better with something on them!!
