What is a staple?

A large office supply chain? A piece of metal that holds papers together? No, neither of those are what I’m thinking about. What I’m thinking about is a basic dietary item. In some families, basic dietary items are: flour, sugar, rice, or corn. Those are staples at our house too, but they’re not the only things. I’ve decided that there are a few other staples at our house like: milk, cheese, tortilla’s, Pace picante sauce, peanut butter, tortilla chips, fruit snacks. I’m sorry to say we don’t eat as much fruit and vegetables as we should, but we do eat fruit and vegetables. My goal is to make fruits and vegetables more of a staple. Then maybe I can be called the staple-er!
