Pantry Staples Yield Quick, Healthy Meals

Looking for a quick, inexpensive and healthy meal? Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics registered dietitian Beth Thayer recommends stocking your pantry with neutral-flavoured canola oil in addition to other healthy ingredients such as whole-wheat pasta, beans, brown rice and oatmeal. “I try to have these ingredients on hand because they’re easy to store and they make healthy recipes,” Thayer says.
