Also have coffee and tea along with some frozen dinners. (no joke here. You'll be exhausted after snow shoveling and won't want to make a home cooked meal) Another staple is pasta. It's easy to cook and there's nothing like a hearty spaghetti meal after a day outside. If you have room in your fridge also think about storing comfort foods like brisket. This makes for a nice pot roast which is the perfect cold weather meal. it's hearty and filling especially when served with its' own gravy and vegetables.
