In many ways, I consider the freezer part of my pantry - I freeze pizza dough, naan dough, and so on so it's ready whenever I need it! Actually, I currently have two refrigerators and freezers ( I know, I recognize it's an addiction). Asha - I'm a cheese addict too! A few months ago my roommate received a box full of 15 types of cheeses from Murray's in NYC. It was amazing! Mary - Mmmm your bacony couscous sounds delish. I'm currently on the look out for whole wheat orzo - I think it would be great because it would cook fast and replace our brown rice in dishes when we're short on time.

(Couscous and bacon is a family staple. Cooked couscous (1 cup dry), half a pound of bacon, chopped and sauteed to get rid of the fat, and a cup or two of cheddar. Mix together and bake for 20 min to melt the cheese. Yum. Also you can throw stir-fried veg over it.) Pecans and raisins. Olive oil and vinegar. I am never without salad ingredients in the house, and can make dinner out of a green salad and bread. Couscous, because you can make it so quickly and do pretty much anything with it.

I usually have several different kinds - one for pasta, one for cheese and cracker snacks, one for homemade pizza ... it goes on and on :) Pantry-wise, I always keep a stock of dried chilis around for pasta sauces and for adding a kick to any dish that starts with sauteed onions.

I freeze EVERYTHING and it makes throwing together delicious meals like this awesome. I usually don't use the whole can of tomato paste so I freeze little portions of it for recipes just like this tasty looking one. Thanks for the inspiration, Erin!
