Food in fridge and cupboard
What healthy foods do you ALWAYS have in your fridge and cupboard? I'm always wanting to make new recipes, but I never have the food it lists!
Thanks for your help :)
Reason: Released as sticky
Isn't it amazing what builds up in the pantry! For me I always have the following:
Chicken breasts, skinless, boneless (frozen), Ground turkey, a pork tenderloin, Tuna, Almond butter, Kidney beans, chickpeas, canned tomatoes (different varieties), whole wheat pasta, quinoa, chicken broth, onions, garlic, baby carrots, frozen green beans, nonfat milk, greek yogurt, fiber one or kashi cereal, olive oil, mustard and a ton of different spices.
I have a tendancy to eat my favorite things over and over. These are my standby things. Then I just have to add fresh fruts and veggies and I'm good to go.
Have fun shopping 
herbs, spices, root ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, cider vinegar, mirin, sesame seeds, fage 0% yogurt, ground turkey, chicken, white fish fillets, wild/brown rice blend, lentils, oatmeal, wheatgerm. My basic supply. the more flavor my food has the less fat i need to add and the happier the meal makes me.
I always have chicken, tuna, plain yogurt, milk, baked beans, bread, deli turkey or ham, oatmeal, eggs, cereal, baby carrots and sugar snap peas, tomatoes, pasta, gnocchi, and Coke Zero (my vice). I pretty much just eat those foods as my staples, and occationally buy something new if it's tempting me.
Woo hoo! Thank you for all of the suggestions, I'll have to make up a grocery list! Looks like it's going to be long too...
P.S. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm vegetarian, haha.
Thank you! :)
