Mark and I just returned from some quiet time away - an early celebration of our first wedding anniversary. I'll tell you more about our adventures another time. For now, I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite rituals when I come back from time away from home: restocking my kitchen of the foods and drinks that we love and rely on each week.

We each have our favorite foods and I like to take my time building a list of meals that I'll make for the coming week. As much as I love eating out as often as possible during a holiday away, I truly miss cooking a satisfying meal for the two of us.
Some of the must-haves on our list include:
- Yogurt - Greek for me and various flavors for Mark
- Milk
- Juice - Mark calls me the juice monster because I love juice so much
- Fruit - today I picked up strawberries, peaches, grapes and bananas
- Vegetables - I always must have lettuces for salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
- Bread and crackers - today I picked up a loaf of buttermilk and French (for dinner tomorrow night)
- Cheese - Manchego and cheddar - and Salami, so I can fix myself one of my favorite lunches
- Organic chicken - I got leg and thigh pieces for one meal and whole legs for another meal that I'm making tonight
- Canned tomatoes - both whole and diced
- Fresh herbs - thyme (I have a pot of basil and rosemary in my kitchen, which is lovely but I sometimes need extras)
- Garlic - I love to make fresh Italian pasta sauce and it requires a lot of garlic
- Peanut butter - my husband would go nuts if we didn't have peanut butter in the house
- Preserves - raspberry to go with the peanut butter!
- Pasta - 'nuff said!
What are the staples of your pantry and fridge?
