What are your go-to cupboard basics for fast meals?

[freelancermari]

Living alone most of the time means that I depend on pantry staples for quick meal options. These staples come in handy when I need a fast meal during busy days or when I do not have fresh food readily available, such as chicken, fish, and vegetables. Some of my go-to cupboard basics for these quick meals include canned tuna, whole-grain rice, and oats, all of which I make sure are quite healthy choices. What about you? What are your favorite cupboard basics for quick and convenient meals?
