This post is to find and develop my ‘usuals’ list. I work from home and want to have a balanced plant-based diet, so I need to have nice food at all times.
This will probably never be complete and always updated and I’ll see in the future how useful it will be.
Starches aka the base
Lentils (red/green)
Beans (kidney, canelli, butter beans, black eyed beans)
Potatos (sweet potatos and all others) – I get those on a weekly organic box scheme
Pasta/noodles (current favourite soba noodles) I usually get whole wheat – you get used to it quickly and start loving it!
Rice (sushi rice, risotto rice, brown rice, basmati, pudding rice)
Chickpeas
Quinoa
Flour/grains (rice, spelt, wheat)
…
Veg
Anything goes … frozen in bulk when cheap. Important to me are different colors!
I get my weekly, local, organic veg and like to experiment with this.
Eggplants/Aubergines (need my weekly dose of baba ganoush)
Spices
Garlic
Salt (sea salt, table salt etc)
Pepper
Oregano, thyme, coriander, curry, basil
Ginger
Sauces
Soy sauce
Chopped tomatoes
Tomato paste
Sweets/Nuts and other treats
Honey melons are my current thing as well as the usual fruits via the box scheme ( apples etc)
Dried fruit … so much sugar yummy treat
Cashews
Popcorn kernels
Other important stuff
Lemons
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Maple syrup
Nutritional yeast
Arrow root starch
Breakfast
Organic oat flakes
Almond milk, hazelnut milk
Sugar
Coffee
Frozen berries or fresh
Apples (via box scheme)
Cinnamon
I notice no pasta, are the noodles a better alternative? I tend to eat a fair bit of pasta.

I do eat loads of pasta especially whole wheat. Just not lately. But I ran out of soba noodles so more pasta again soon! Actually just bought lasagne sheets today, so I’m hoping to nail the cashew cheese lasagne again and document it!

Actually I spotted an error with the noodles! Updated it accordingly and named it pasta! Thanks Gareth š
