[OneEyedDiva]

Bread, milk, eggs maybe cheese, pasta and flour are some of the things I grew up to believe are staples. But for me there are more important foods I can't be without. Here are some of them:
~Golden cheese blintzes
~ Whipped cream
~Birdseye broccoli florets
~Cheerios
~Egg whites (in a carton)

Besides the customary staples, I can't think of much I have to have on hand. I do buy my butter croissant each week, but when it's out of stock, it's not a big deal. I also make sure to have decaf k-cups here because after my regular caffeine coffee, I often use the decaf if I need a second (or third, etc.) cup.
