My staples

Being that I talk a lot to people about what I don't eat, they always wonder what I do.
I've recently moved and had to re-stock my cabinets and buy new kitchen utensils, here's what I got.

In terms of food - these are my staples, I try very hard to always have them on hand.
Organic unrefined virgin coconut oil
Organic non virgin & extra virgin olive oil
Organic grass fed butter
Different types of sea salt
Organic spices like cinnamon, turmeric, ground pepper (don't like cracked) and rosemary. I found a new blend w/ sea salt, oregano and garlic that I like as well.
A variety of Eden Organic beans
Crown Prince wild sardines and canned salmon
Organic pre-washed quinoa
Any time I can get raw milk I do, when I can't I get organic grass-fed
Organic non soy or corn feed farm raised eggs and grass-fed beef from my farmers market
Organic ground flax seeds
Organic steel cut oatmeal
Some form of organic brown rice and/or brown rice pasta
I usually don't buy chicken because I haven't found one that I think is good enough (for me). But when I am in the mood, I buy a pre-made organic chicken from fairway and I save all the bones for stock. I like having my own stock on hand!
I try to always have toasted sesame oil - it smells and taste so good !
Garlic and onions of course!
And last but not least, raw coconut aminos - to replace soy sauce and add extra nutrition to an appropriate dish.
Of course I get organic veggies and fruit and other things, either from the farmers market or my favorite place, Fairway, to balance and creat full meals but those are my favorite things to have in my cabinets!

As far as untensils/equipment goes, I don't have much but I have exactly what I need right now.
A dutch oven - I want more though ;0)
A couple of different sized stainless steal pieces
A PFOA/PTFE free non stick pan - I pretty much only use this to cook my daughters eggs in the morning.
A salad spinner for my greens
Wooden spoons
A 3 piece ninja - I'll write about that when I start using it.
A cast iron skillet, but I want a newer one!
Some glass bowls for storing and mixing stuff
Some cute measureing spoons and cups that I don't really use but will one day.
A huge wooden cutting board that fits so nicely on my counter top but I want a differnt one, going to reserch marble and bamboo I think they're better choices!
Nice sharp chefs knife - mine is a little smaller than that average but it really works for me.
The best little peeler I've ever worked with - it's tiny and sharp, easy to handle and puple, I love it!
My mom bought me some non stick porcelin bake wear, even though I don't bake, i'm sure it'll come in handy one day.
I know I need a cookie sheet, a roasting pan and a few other things, they will come in time. I hope that this  has been of some interest or help to you.
Happy Healthy New Year!
