Re: Need to stock up my pantry!
This is my response from another post:
As you probably see from my posts... I plan out my weekly menus - so dinner is always set.
FREEZER:
We always have frozen meat (we buy in bulk at costco and freeze by 1/2 lbs in ziplock freezer bags). We also always have frozen chicken breast (also costco, comes individually packaged). And we usually have frozen tilapia or salmon (also bought in bulk and packaged into 2 servings). We usually have frozen corn, chopped spinach, and peas on hand. We usually have some frozen turkey meat or chicken meat too (again, bought in bulk and frozen in 1/2 lb or 1 lb packages). We also usually have Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches and gelato in the freezer.
FRIDGE:
In the fridge, I'll start with the veggie drawer. We always have lemons, parsley and other fresh herbs (thyme, basil, rosemary), scallions, lettuce, cucumber.
We also usually have fresh fruit - grapes, melon, clementines, apples.
Apple or orange juice, various kinds of shredded/sliced cheese, a big hunk of good aged parmesan, eggs, condiments (ketchup, spicy and dijon mustards, mayo, steak sauce), jar of sundried tomatoes, soy milk, filtered water pitcher, greek yogurt, kosher hot dogs, homemade whipped cream, feta, olives, chicken brother, margarine, unsalted butter, red wine vinegar....
COUNTER STUFF:
We've always got a ton of garlic and onions!
Whole wheat bread, pitas, bananas, olive oil, some type of baked goodies.
CABINETS:
(I'm gonna try to think of each cabinet... we live in an apartment so there's not too much!)
We usually have a whole wheat pancake mix (kodiak cakes is our favorite), real maple syrup, bittersweet chocolate chips, honey, flour, sugar, baking powder, ice cream toppings (magic shell, sprinkles, hot fudge), brown sugar, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract, vanilla bean.
Definitely always have a few types of pastas, lipton onion soup mix, canned beans (black, red, cannellini, garbanzo), canned tomato (crushed, whole peeled), cans of tuna, rice, couscous, breadcrumbs, panko.
Snacks - we usually have goldfish, chocolate covered almonds, fiber one bars, maybe some kind of cookie, popcorn, fruit leather, peanut butter.
Then we have all of our spices - garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, cumin, herbs de provence, coriander, red pepper flakes, paprika, sazon goya, chili powder, etc.
--
Our shopping list usually is just whatever we'll need for dinners that week, lunches, and breakfast. Typically that's just a ton of fresh vegetables, eggs, juice, fresh fruit, bread.
