Kitchen staples...
What are the things you always have on hand? I'm thinking besides pantry staples like flour, sugar, etc.

I'm thinking stuff you make sure you never run out of.

Primary staples for me:
  • Garlic, onion, shallots
  • Some kind of fresh herb (thyme, rosemary, basil, parsley)
  • Chicken broth (fresh and frozen or boxed)
  • A good unsalted butter
  • Parmigiano reggiano or some other good salty, hard cheese
  • High quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Pasta
  • Rice
  • Eggs

I also try to keep lemon or lime around, but I can't really call that something I always have.

My staples look really similar to yours. One thing that's interesting is my weekly grocery shopping which is basically like getting staples unless I'm trying a new recipe. I usually get:

Kale
Onions
Garlic
Sweet potatoes
Carrots
Celery
Broccoli
Arugula/spinach mix (lots of this is assuming it's not in season at farmer's market)
Ginger
Brussel sprouts
Cauliflower
Seasonal fruits
Almond milk
Orange juice
Quinoa
Lentils
Chickpeas
Black beans
Corn tortillas
Canned tomatoes
Cereal
Eggs
Chicken breasts


I can basically go into the store without a list, pick up these items that I don't have at home already, and cook any number of meals for the whole week without problem.

A staple are things that are easily stored for longer use generally. Dried food, canned or things that you always have on hand that go into other dishes.

This was hard to answer for me, as well, I had to look the word up to be completely sure.

So here's my list of always on hand basics and storage:
I have a section of my garage for long-term food storage that is temp controlled.

Hot Drinks: Coffee/Tea(s)

Salts: Kosher, Sea, Whole Himilayan, Regular Iodized, Salt Tablets

Oils: Coconut, Olive Oils, GrapeSeed Oil, Sesame Oil, Peanut Oil
Other Fats: Butter, Vegan Non-Hyrdogenated Shortening, Peanut Butter, Flax Seeds

Sweetners: White Granulated & Powdered, Turbinado/Stevia Blend, Pure Via (Stevia), Honey, Molasses, Sorghum/Brown Rice Syrup, Maple Syrup

Organic Flour: White and Whole Spelt Flour, Rye Flour
Organic Grains: Flax meal, fine Corn Meal, Coarse Corn Meal, Quinoa see also under dried foods.

Milks: Organic 2% Milk, Hemp Milk, Coconut Milk
Other Dairy: Eggs (organic), Butter, Milk(organic)
Cheese: Parmigiano Reggiano

Basic Fresh Always Stocked:
Tomatoes: Grape Tomatoes, at least one whole vine ripened or organic tomato
Greens: Green Leaf Lettuce or Romaine and Spinach
Onions: Spanish and at least one Purple or Red Onion
Other: Organic Carrots, Bag of Limes and at least one lemon, Pink Grapefruit, Tube of Tomato Paste for Cooking, always have a bulb of fresh Garlic
Dried: Black Beans, Pinto Beans, Soup Bean Blend, Chickpeas, Red & Yellow Lentils, Ancho Chilis, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Popcorn, Both whole grain, white or corn Gluten-Free Pastas in various shapes and forms.

Nuts: I always have at least some nuts around and it varies

Canned Goods:Organic Diced Canned Tomatoes, Tomato Sauce, Black Beans, Baked Beans, Tuna Fish, Cream of Mushroom Soup (I make most of my own soup), Pineapple in its own juice

Misc:Xanthan Gum, Arrowroot, Tamari, Liquid Smoke, Baking Powder, Baking Soda,Vanilla Extract, Almond Extract, Anise Flavor, Worcestershire Sauce, Tabasco Sauce, Organic Chicken Broth, Veggie Broth, Better than Broth Beef and Veggie, Gravy Master, Dried Cranberries, Cranberry Sauce, Raisins, Colored Sprinkles & Decorative Sugars

Super Foods: Hemp Powder, Hemp Hearts, Raw Cacao Powder, Aloe Vera Juice, Goji Berries

Condiments: Horse radish Sauce, Dijon Mustard, Yellow Mustard, Ketchup, Relish, Dill Pickles, Mayo, Peanut Sauce, Hot Chinese Mustard, Hoisin Sauce, Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix, Natural Marachino Cherries, Jam
Vinegars: White Balsamic, Red Wine, White Wine, Cider Vinegar, Rice Vinegar unseasoned and seasoned, White Distilled and Herbed Vinegars (My own)

Fresh Garden Herbs: Mint, Thyme, Oregano, Dill, Chives, and Basil that keeps getting eating by slugs. ( Sounds yummy huh?)

Dried Herbs and Spices: An assortment but I'd say Parsley, Whole Peppercorns, Garlic and Onion Granules are the main must have there at all times. So I consider them Basic Staples.

Frozen: Bacon, Frozen Peas, Corn, Sweet Potato Fries, Japanese Blend, Stiry-Fry Blend, my own Veggie Broth, Chipotles in Adobo Sauce, Hush Puppies, Phyllo Dough, Spelt Tortillas whole grain & white, Millet Flax Loaf of Bread, Buns and Crumbs (that I make and store),Frozen Peaches, Pineapple and Mixed Fruit, Ice
(Yes I buy ice )

Junk: Mini-Marshmallows and Marshmallow Fluff —always on hand

Spirits for Cooking: Some sort of Red Wine usually Burgundy or Cabernet Sauvignon is always on hand, Vermouth, Marsala Wine, Sherry Wine and Sake

Cold or Room Temp Drinks: Club Soda, Gingerale ( for my bar in case some one steps in)
Vodka, Whisky, Rum, Bailey's Irish Cream and a few other basic bar stuff in small quantities
