Fridge Staples

Good morning! As I type, our boxes are making their way out of the house and onto a truck! So excited to get this show on the road.

You know what else excites me?

The inaugural grocery trip I am looking forward to making when we get to the new casa. Remind me to show you a picture of our refrigerator one day. I mayyy have gone slightly overboard. She's a freaking monster. (But angels sing when I open her gorgeous french doors...)

::Back to my grocery trip::

I have grown to LOVE grocery shopping. It is something I look forward to each week and as we have grown as a family and as I have gotten better at cooking, we have really streamlined our list. Don't get me wrong, I get things we don't need fun, new things to try almost each week, but we absolutely have our core necessities that we HAVE to have to function.

Here are some must haves:

  • Bananas
  • Gala or Honeycrisp Apples
  • Baby Spinach
  • Kale
  • Avocados
  • Baby Carrots
  • Grape Tomatoes
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Black beans
  • Hummus
  • Almond Butter
  • Van's Waffles
  • Eggs
  • Liquid Egg Whites
  • Almond Milk
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas
  • Ground Turkey
  • Chicken Breast (haha, breast)

It's a pretty long list of essentials...but truthfully, we make mid-week grocery runs if we run out of any one of these things. I almost added more, but tried to stick with the big time needs. We like food in this house. :)

If I had to narrow it down to my personal top 3, it would easily be: Avocado, Almond Butter, and Egg Whites.


God, this is a riveting post.

So, share time. What tops your grocery list?
