A Weekend Pantry Reset
Twelve jars, six staples, and a simple Sunday ritual that will make every weeknight dinner for the next month feel half as hard.
Most weeknight dinners go sideways not because of the cooking but because of the pantry. Half-empty jars, three different bags of rice, the bay leaves you bought in 2019. A two-hour Sunday reset solves it for a month.
Below is the shape of the reset and the short list of staples that earn their shelf space every week. If you keep these in stock, you will always be twenty minutes from a real dinner.
