Advice for Stocking Your Pantry from Ellie Krieger. Discover how a well-stocked pantry can simplify your life from a Food Network star and New York Times best-selling cookbook author. In this special issue, Ellie Krieger offers 75 solutions for delicious and healthful recipes created with staples found right in your pantry.

Delicious Food That's Simple to Make! All of these recipes require only three or fewer fresh ingredients such as herbs, tomatoes, or chicken, minimizing the amount of grocery shopping needed. What makes the difference and adds variety are pantry staples such as: oils and vinegars, condiments and flavor boosters, beans, broths, canned tomatoes and fruits, sweeteners, nuts, and freezer items like artichoke hearts and shrimp.

Shopping Smart. See how you can get a week's worth of meals in a one-basket trip to the market and serve up fabulous meals like these:

• Cowboy Steak with Coffee and Ancho Rub
• Orange-Pistachio Wild Rice
• Pasta Puttanesca
• Dark Chocolate Mousse
• Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes

Safe Storage. And because storing staples is so important, Ellie offers plenty of tips for proper storage using waxed paper, re-sealable bags, and food savers, plus helpful advice on how long pantry goods can be stored.

Perfect for Busy Families and Big-Box Shoppers!
