Keep a Well Stocked Food Cupboard

A well stocked food cupboard is most important in your kitchen because it mean you will have some ingredients to make good meals for you and your family with out having to stress yourself out thinking 'what I am going to cook today'. Always plan ahead and make a list for the week. If you do your shopping on a Friday make out your list on Thursday night. Go through your favorite cook book and write down all the meals that you want to make during the week. For each receipt make a list of what you have, what you need, what extras you want to add to them or your husband or kids don't like, so that you can make changes of your own to suite everyone's taste. You should have at least 1 or 2 cupboards that you can store your food in, that way you can organize them in a  way is most easiest for you to work with, so that you can find all your ingredients easy and fast with no hassle or stress.
