    This is what I usually have around the house and/or buy when it runs out:

    plain greek yogurt (Fage is the best brand I found)
    bananas
    Ezekiel Breads (frozen bread works best for me since I can take parts out and thaw it when I need to eat)
    organic eggs
    Food Should Taste Good - Multigrain Chips
    avocados
    kale or spinach or a dark green
    mozzarella cheese - fresh mozzarella esp.
    fresh fruit of week (what is in season)
    fresh veggies of week (what is in season) I do a CSA veggie share during summer/fall
    frozen broccoli (backup frozen veggie that is good to use in many recipes or as a side)
    local honey (usually raw)
    Koeze Cream Nut Peanut Butter (yes, I have a 12pack of this when I found a deal online - expensiver but the best natural pb)
    raisins
    oats
    coconut, almond or soy milk


    and cat food because the cats would eat some of the the food above if they didn't have something to eat ;)

    I seem to keep reaching for:

    * coffee (with sugar & cream/er),
    * unsweetened almond milk (and almond/coconut),
    * eggs & egg whites,
    * garlic & onions,
    * natural vanilla protein powder,
    * bone-in chicken thighs (often make stock and use the meat in varied ways, mixed in an egg scramble, enchilada casserole, mixed with vegetables),
    * and a mix of vegetables--greens of whatever kind, broccoli, summer squashes are common; asparagus and other specialties when in season or on sale!

    I keep a wide range of herbs and spices, different types of hot sauces vanilla extract, extra virgin olive oil & coconut oil.
