One.
Eggs. Don't you just love how eggs can be cooked so many different ways; Scrambled, poached, fried, boiled, etc! And they can be used to enhance so many other dishes, and used in baking too!

Two.
Lots of Chicken. For the same reason as the eggs, chicken made it on the list for its versatility and for being a cheap form of protein. I Opted to buy these frozen precooked and preseasoned bags of Tyson Chicken to help with my, dare I say LAZINESS, but more so busyness. They are just easy and convenient to cook. Hey, if I choose not to prioritize gourmet cooking, that's my choice! 😉 How do you like to cook your chicken?
Three.
Nature Valley Bars. I have just always loved these, they can be bought in bulk, and are a great cereal alternative, and you don't even need milk! They also can be deemed as versatile; when crumbled up they can serve as a granola and be added to other tasty treats like yogurt for example. I bought huge boxes of them on discount at the grocery bargain outlet so they also get points for being low cost.
Four.
Tortillas. I love these babies! And they have to be the "Mission" Tortillas. Those ones are the best! I could eat these round the clock, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and snack time too! They are often used by me to make all kinds of quesadillas, burritos, and sandwich wraps. I'll even eat them plain or make them into chips! Let me know if you'd like to know more about how I do that. It's so easy and delicious!
Five.
Lots of fruits and vegetables. Sure they won't have the longest shelf life, but my plan is to freeze some of them for making smoothies later! Often you'll find me drinking banana, avocado, spinach, and kale smoothies! Do you have any good smoothie recommendations?
Well that's all folks! Those are my top 5 grocery must-haves of the season. Mind you, OF COURSE I have other things stocked in my fridge and pantry! For example, Rice will forever be a staple on my shelves (talk about versitle and cheap), and I have all the other basics too: milk and bread and such- I also have a TON of black beans from when I bought them in bulk from BJ's Wholesale Club to make black bean avacado brownies for when Ballet Magnificat was supposed to come and visit but then never did. Does anyone have any idea on what else I can do with black beans?
The above list is just a short list of items I wanted to especially highlight from my last grocery trip. What would your list of "Quarantine Grocery Must-Haves" consist of? Think: if you were stranded on a desert island with prospects of staying alive, what foods would you want to have with you? I just think it would be so fun and interesting to hear everyone's responses so leave it in the comments down below!
And Stay healthy, safe and blessed!
