Staple foods are items that can be used cohesively with many other different fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, and overall ingredients to create meals. These are usually things that can be added to a number of different things and are very versatile.Having these items on hand can make meal times much simpler, because no matter which things you have on hand you can find a way to create something delicious to feed your family! Staple foods are different in various countries, but in the United States these include grains and potatoes; sometimes this can also include white rice.
These types of products are usually carbohydrates that are supplemented with nutrients and proteins. Thankfully, these substances also usually last for a long period of time, because they can be dried and stored.As long as they are kept free from contamination and liquid, you can keep them in storage containers in your pantry or cellar for a while before you will need to throw them away. Staples have been around almost as long as civilization; it is the way that many centuries of tribes have eating and filled their bellies.
When you are mentally ready to begin, arm yourself with three large plastic bags. Label one "donate," one "trash," and one labeled "repair." All of the items you want to keep will go back into your closet. Every item should wind up in one of these bags or back in the closet. Now, pull all your clothes out of the closet, place them on a flat surface like your bed, turn on some motivating music, and get to work.
When deciding to keep an article of clothing, ask yourself some tough questions -- be brutally honest as you inspect each item. When did you wear it last? When will you wear it again? How do you feel when you look in the mirror while wearing it?What is the worst thing that would happen if you got rid of it? If it looks great on you, feels comfortable and makes you smile when you wear it, keep it and put it back in your closet.
During grocery shopping trips, it is probably best for you to focus on these types of items and at least have a healthy level of them available in your supply. When you are purchasing pastas and grains, it may be best to choose the whole grain variety, instead of those that are white flour based.These usually have less fat and preservatives than the other types, and they will offer fiber and heart health increasing benefits. Make sure that you have a good variety available according to the types of things that your family enjoys eating.
If one member prefers pasta, then purchase some whole wheat spaghetti for them to snack on with meaty marinara sauce or some parmesan cheese. Those that love potatoes may wish for you to have this starch on hand so that they can mash them or baked them for filling benefits.Breads are great for sandwiches and many breakfast dishes; you could use them with peanut butter and jelly, for toast, or with eggs. Breads will not be able to last as long as some of the other staple foods, simply because the grains used for it has been added to yeast that has the potential to mold and go bad.
Throw away clothes that are not fit to donate. Keep a few things for dirty jobs like dying your hair, gardening, painting, etc. and keep them in a separate drawer or box. Throwing away old and battered clothes can also be a difficult task - they are like old friends. However, remember, every minute you spend sifting through clothes you never wear is simply a waste of time and space.
If you ever run out of staples, make sure to stock up right away. In case of an emergency, they will be the best and most filling things to have in your meal arsenal; they will also sustain you and your family for longer.
Chances are you will not wear it if it does not go with anything. Now is a perfect time to take inventory of your wardrobe. Are there any basic pieces you are in need of? Is there a color that you do not have, which would tie several things together?Write down any changes you would like to see. This process is to gain the ability to wake up in the morning, grab anything from your closet, and have it fit, look good, and make you feel good.
