Dried Foods
Pasta, rice, instant noodles, popcorn seeds as well as dried fruits and nuts last long, yes, but they also can be changed up and put together in a rush. Whether you may be having a lazy day at home or finding it hard to keep the kids entertained these foods are simple and easy. The best thing about instant foods as well as pasta is that you don’t have to be the best cook or even good for them to turn out filling and delicious. A little tip with regards to dried fruits is to put them in the freezer- that way they turn out even chewier, tastier and are a healthy sweet snack for kids too. Nuts and grains can be added to almost any dish for a little extra spice. Roasting your nuts in the oven can add some dynamic to any dish just as well.

Canned Goods
We are all familiar with the ideal of hoarding canned foods for when necessary. We are simply saying that these are quick, easy and don’t take up to much space. The essentials and a few good choices are tuna (varied in spices), sardines, baked beans, sweet-corn, lentils, olives, fruit (pineapple and peaches), stuffed grape leaves as well as pickles. Getting creative is important- don’t be afraid to try out some weird and wonderful combinations. Adding tuna to pasta can be delicious and nutritious. However, canned goods are a really good idea to ensure you won’t be running back to the store in the midst of all the chaos. Oh, don’t forget your spreads people let’s spread peanut butter and jam rather than the virus, yes?
