It’s impossible to turn on the news or to scroll through social media without hearing about coronavirus. With the uncertainty surrounding it, people are being urged to self-quarantine and to create a household plan in case of an outbreak happening in their community. Stocking up your house with enough basic essentials to last you two weeks is important and here’s what you should get the next time you head to the grocery store.

Canned Goods

Canned goods are usually the first food item to fly off shelves as they can last up to a decade as long as they’re stored in moderate temperatures. Canned fruits and vegetables will provide you with the nutrients you need to stay healthy. Beans, ravioli, fish, soups, and chillis are also items you should stock up on.

Pantry Staples

Keep your pantry full with nuts, pastas, nut butters, applesauce, quinoa, dried fruits, and seeds. Also, don’t forget to get food for your baby or pets.

Frozen Foods

Frozen fruits and vegetables give you the same vitamins and minerals found in fresh ones, but they don’t last as long as canned ones. Make sure you stock up on ready-made meals like burritos and pizzas because they’re easy to prepare and they don’t require fresh ingredients. Meats and poultry are also items you should get as they can be used for many different meals.

Breakfast Food & Snacks

Breakfast foods like oatmeal and cereal can be eaten for any meal and they keep for a while. Also, remember to get some snack foods like granola bars and protein bars, which will come in handy if you plan on working out at home. Popcorn is another great thing to get as you’ll finally have time to relax while catching up on your favorite television show.

Olives are an amazing pantry staple that seriously can lift a dish just by existing! If you’re in need of powerful flavor, olives are the pantry staple for you.

Tapenade

Never fear surprise guests again if you have olives handy! All you need to do is blitz them in a food processor with capers, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and fresh herbs if you have them. Serve with bread or crackers and you’re ready to party!

Pasta Sauce

Don’t have enough time to whip up a tomato sauce from scratch? Olives are here to save the day. Simmer some store-bought tomato sauce or even just crushed tomatoes with some sliced olives and you will have a complex tasting sauce in no time. The best thing to do is to make sure you toss the pasta in the sauce while it’s on the heat so all the sauce is absorbed, and you have a gorgeous dish!

Salad

If you need a little salty bite to get you through seemingly boring salads, olives are here to save the day. Not only will they give you a bit of fat as well to keep you feeling full, but whenever you bite into one it feels like a little treat!

Coconut milk is an essential item to have in your pantry. It’s great because it doesn’t need to be refrigerated until you use it, but has all the properties of a normal dairy product. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just love Asian-flavors, your pantry should never be without it. Scroll down for some coconut milk staples!

Thai Curry

Coconut milk is always necessary when it comes to Thai curries. The sweet and milkiness of the ingredient really balances the bright spiciness of the Thai curry paste and ties everything together perfectly every time. All you have to do is pour it in after you’ve added your veggies and curry paste, let it simmer away, and you have a gorgeous stew in no time.

Popsicles

If you’re looking for a way to cool down this summer, look no further than coconut popsicles. All you need to do is blend it with any type of sugar and fruit or other flavorings, pour it into molds, freeze, and you have an icy treat in a snap.

Coconut Rice

If you’re tired of boring rice made with water, amp it up with a can of coconut milk! Not only will it bring so much flavor to your rice without you having to do anything, it’s the perfect addition to curries, buddha bowls, and more!
