Just a fun thread here! I usually always keep these in stock: - lemons - oven roasted turkey cold cuts - olive oil - ranch dressing - eggs - spicy mustard - water - juice or raspberry/pomegranate/blueberry lemonade - seasoned salt, pepper, onion & garlic powder - garlic pepper seasoning (but I'm now loving this Rachel Ray 24/7 Seasoning Grinder I'm trying!) My new favorite things: Hummus, but especially PESTO! But...they can only be from the farmer's markets that I get them from.
I keep a fully stocked kitchen all the time. I live in the boonies, so running to the store isn't easy. I probably have just about anything.
I always have - popcorn - humus - peanut butter - eggs - bread I try to keep up with basic staples (flour, spices, milk, etc) but do not keep a well stocked kitchen by any means. I live alone and am more a 'snacker' than a meal person.
My kitchen is generally kept very well stocked. Staple items Flour (all purpose, self rising, cake flour) Dry yeast Sugar (granulated and powdered) Brown Sugar Cornmeal Bread crumbs Various types of dry beans Canned chicken and beef broth Evaporated Milk Cornstarch Grits Coffee, both American ground and Cuban ground Rice Canned fruits such as pineapple and cranberry Fresh and dried spices Breakfast cereals, both hot and cold Graham cracker crumbs Sweetened condensed milk Baking chocolate Chocolate chips Peanut butter Various pastas and noodles Refrigerated/Frozen/other perishables Milk Eggs Cream cheese Orange Juice Apple Juice Fresh fruits and veggies Bread Full selection of various meats Butter Bagels Sliced cheese (American, provolone, Swiss, anything else that strikes my fancy) Block cheese (Cheddar, Monterey, Jack, Parmesan, or anything that was on sale) Honey Mustard dressing Any fresh stocks that I made and froze (I make stock from the bones of anything I cook that has bones) I'm sure I'm forgetting something that I always have on hand. Now, if only I had my own kitchen again....
Aside from the conglomerated list of the usual suspects, we keep avocados to have with breakfast. And fresh veggies of all sorts are absolutes.
Another fully stocked kitchen here... But, I always keep plain Greek yogurt and frozen mango on hand for breakfast. I would be miserable without coffee creamer on hand, and I always need to have milk in the fridge. I'm a true Wisconsin girl at heart--I LOVE my dairy!
I'm pretty well stocked. One thing I try to keep current is my "sick box' of items I'd need on a really bad sick day. I check it every three months to make sure items haven't expired.
We are in a small one bedroom apartment with no pantry and very limited cabinet space, so we don't keep a ton all the time. We go grocery shopping every weekend to restock. I wish we could get stuff at Costco, but we just do not have the storage space. We do always have typical baking ingredients and condiments. And we always have: - milk (for me, the milk addict) - some kind of cheese - jasmine rice (love that stuff) - popcorn - fat free feta cheese crumbles from Trader Joe's for salads - sliced black olives (I am addicted to those too.) - canned cat food - not for us obviously, but it's in the kitchen! :lol:
I have a stuffed pantry of everything you could think of and, hopefully, enough food to last a month or more, just in case.
Juice for the baby, milk for the significant other, beer for me. Anything else is negotiable and dependent on what's on sale
pasta more pasta popcorn bread water juice more pasta rice more bread canned beans canned tomatos canned soup pretzels ginger beer or ginger ale hey look - more pasta wine mysterious jar of...maybe homemade jam? hmmm...time to clean out pantry!
Well, we keep lots of wine on hand. So, check. The liquor cabinet may not be 100% complete but it is stocked as well. Got it.
This is a definite must--my dad actually brings it with him at restaurants and going to other people's houses just in case they have "Yankee tastes!" It also can only be tabasco brand made on Avery Island in Louisiana--no other brand will do!! Major--you and my dad would be great friends if you ever met!!
