Shopping List

This grocery shopping list contains most of the basic food items that I tend to use in my recipes. This list will probably be most helpful when you need to completely restock, such as when you move to a new location, for example. Keep in mind that this shopping list is a guide and does not have to be followed to a T (in fact, I usually don’t have all of these items on hand!). I created this list to provide inspiration and help you get organized, not to stress you out. Also, just because something isn’t mentioned here, doesn’t mean it’s not great to include in your diet! Happy shopping!

Produce

I always vary the produce that I buy (and thus cook with) based on the season. Here are a few of my favorites. Please do not buy all of this produce at once because it will spoil before you can use it!
