What goes in a southern comfort pantry?!
I realized today food goes to waste in my house unless it's southern comfort food!. By that I mean louisiana chicken wings, mashed potatoes,chicken cordon bleu bake, jalapeno cornbread, chili, bread pudding, potato salad, mac salad!. You get the idea!.
Anyway, I'll be cooking my husbands friends breakfast/lunches for extra money now!. The problem is I'd like to stock up my pantry with the southern comfort delights so I can cook and never run out (hopefully)!.
What do I get besides chicken stock and cream of mushroom soup!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think people in the south require anything different in their cupboards than anywhere else!. Get potatoes, flour, onions, pasta, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, etc!.!. Fill up the freezer with chicken and diced peppers for quick cooking!. Stock up on eggs, cheese, milk etc!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
