What can't you live without on your grocery list? I'm struggling to think of things to buy. I want to try something new!

-only allergic to hazelnut

We rarely have the same meal twice, but I always have on hand:

sweet peppers - red, orange, or yellow
various salad vegetables
Greek yogurt, which is breakfast most days
1% cottage cheese
edamame, usually frozen pods
sweet potatoes
chicken breasts and thighs
pork chops or tenderloin when on BOGO

You should start seeing fresh vegetables in season very soon, if you haven't already. Asparagus, peas, snow peas, and lettuces are all spring veggies. Baby artichokes will be available soon. Pick up new fruit or veg every time you go shopping. Some you won't like but you'll find some new favorites. Try them raw where possible and lightly stir fried or roasted. This gives you the full flavor. If it's not to your liking and you don't want to waste them add to marina or to a tossed salad.

Yeah I can't eat it anymore. I was in college when I found out I was allergic. Small amounts don't do much but if I eat a lot my throat closes up. I miss nutella.

Nutella is great, but you're better without it if it'll close up your throat!

Ohh forgot another thing for my shopping list- sugarsnap peas, they are so good raw

You'll find it in tubs in the dairy section. It's very mild and usually eaten as is with or without fruit, like you would yogurt.
