It's either vinegar (red/white wine or balsamic), which I pour on vegetables/salads, use in sauces, etc., hot sauce, which I put on everything too, or fresh lemon, which I use on stuff I don't use vinegar on. I go through a large bag of lemons pretty much weekly. I think acidity is the most commonly underused element when people cook at home and I'm exactly the opposite and will throw acidity into everything to brighten up the flavour and balance out salt, sweet, and fat.
As far as actual food goes, we use a ton of boneless chicken thighs, romaine, arugula, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cheese (parmesan flakes and goat cheese mostly.)0 -
Seasoning wise, I adore Everything But the Bagel from Trader Joe’s. My go-to is topping brown rice cakes with some Kite Hill cream cheese and sprinkling those bad boys with the seasoning. SO GOOD! My SO also grills his chicken with it.
Actual foodstuff, I’d have to say bananas. I make protein shakes almost everyday with bananas and peanut butter powder. I’m a sucker for choco-bananas, too. Also can’t go wrong with mushrooms, Ezekiel sprouted wheat bread, and almond milk!0 -

My most used ingredient is definitely coffee.
Most versatile -- either eggs or greek yogurt.0 -
Another one for greek yogurt...by itself or even to dress dry meat. It helps that various brands have different flavors (chobani is notoriously sour, but runnier - best as a dressing) & textures (fage (fa-yah) is thickest, pretty bland, perfect for adding vanilla/hazelnut flavoring to or just eating regular on it's own - almost as satisfying as solid foods)

I eat a lot mushrooms too (breakfast has 200g at the moment, plus I have them other meals) but I think my most used/versatile ingredient is zucchini. I use that in nearly everything (including pancakes and waffles)1 -
Season wise- definitely garlic. Makes everything taste better!!
Food-wise, Greek yogurt and liquid egg whites. Use these for everything, ranging from protein shakes as a mayo substitute to bythemselves for dessert or breakfast respectively.0 -
Onions I guess. And oil.0
