You know when people tell a pregnant woman that it looks like she swallowed a watermelon?

We've long known that a well-stocked pantry is essential to effortless meal preparation, but we experienced it put to the test and practically reinforced during the pandemic. Never had I been more attuned to what I was stocking in my kitchen. Now, that way of living has become the norm. And why not?

A thoughtfully curated pantry isn't just about convenience, though; it's also about unlocking creativity and expanding your culinary horizons without always relying on fresh ingredients. Among the myriad shelf-stable gems that fill my pantry, one item has earned its place as the cornerstone of countless meals. I'm talking, of course, about canned tomatoes. These unassuming tins might not look like much, but they're the building blocks of some of the most satisfying dishes in my repertoire. Here's why they deserve a top spot on your grocery list.

According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

One of the best parts of ordering a pizza — besides not having to cook — might actually be a second time in everything that's left over. But if you aren't careful, you could expose yourself to foodborne illness by either not properly storing leftovers or eating them too long after they were cooked. Perishable foods don't last forever, so next time you go to grab a slice of pizza from the fridge or that pizza box you left on the counter, check yourself to make sure it won't make you sick.

Air fryers are a wonder as far as kitchen conveniences go. You can air fry all sorts of unexpected foods, in less time and with less mess than traditional methods of frying. Now, it's debatable whether an air fryer can really simulate the effects of deep-frying — it is much more adjacent to a convection oven — but that doesn't detract from its usefulness.
