if they're like me, a fucking mess

But also

  • various canned beans (always including garbanzos)
  • rice
  • dried beans
  • NOOCH
  • lots of spices, including for favorite flavor. staples like garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion powder, cinnamon.
  • pasta
  • canola oil for general purpose, olive for fancy shit
  • maple syrup
  • various general baking ingredients - flour, baking soda + powder etc
  • arrowroot, for baking (i like it a lot better than egg replacer)
  • cereal
  • peanut butter for a god tier snack
  • oats
  • an extra of my favorite tamari/soy sauce, salsa, and hot sauce

Then i just stock the fridge with Oatly barista, Ripple milk, violife cheeze, and prepped marinated + cubed tofu for a grabbable snack.

In the freezer i stock extra tofu, beyond spicy breakfast sausages and daiya pizzas which we go mostly keep around for low-spoon days. Usually it's a pizza + 2 boxes of sausages a week, so it's not terribly $$.

Anyway, i'm curious what kind of pantry staples do ya'll keep and if they vary much from mine

    Mine are super similar, but I use flax seed as an egg replacer, for milk I'm a soy boy, and my dried legume of choice is lentils because I don't have to remember to soak them. Also canned tomatoes and tomato paste, which I use a lot. In the freezer I like to have Gardein's beefless ground for chili or pasta, and some bags of frozen vegetables for a quick stir fry.

        Yeah flax seed is great! I also like to put it in my oatmeal for a nutty flavor. I'm pretty boring, I mainly get green lentils. I've also used red lentils, but I find they're less versatile than green since they get soft so quickly

        It's weird, in German speaking countries you can get it at any grocery store and in other countries like France it's only at organic stores and prohibitely expensive, no idea why. I love it, good luck in your search
