Setting up a kitchen for the summer

Hi All,

K is soon to go off to Knoxville for a summer internship and she'll have to cook for herself for the summer. I promised to put together a shopping list of staples and perishable items that would make a good foundation. I'll start the list and update when I remember something. I'll also post some super simple cooking ideas with recipes. But for now here's the list:

Staples
Olive Oil
Butter
All Purpose Flour, small bag
Salt and pepper
Almond or Peanut Butter
Honey
Sugar, small box
Tea
Canned Tuna in Oil
Sardines (great when there's no time)
Granola
Bottled Vinaigrette (look for that's one that's just oil, vinegar and spices)

Perishables
Yogurt
Sharp Cheddar
Whole wheat bread
Lunch meat
Bananas
Oranges
Grapes
Eggs
Frozen Green Beans
Frozen Spinach, loose it possible
Lettuce
Cucumber
Cherry tomatoes

Meat (I would freeze these in smaller portions)
Chicken Breast
Italian Sausage
Ground Beef

Cleaning Items and Misc
Small baggies
Dishwashing soap
Scrubby thing for doing dishes
Peeler

That's a pretty good start. I'll miss you this summer, K.

Hugs,
Mameekosan
