What are your healthy staple foods?

I neglected to mention steel-cut oats, blueberries, really any kind of berry. Berries are my favorite fruit. I also tend to use walnuts and pecans quite often.

When we were in Utah, we went to a cafe for breakfast every morning call the Mean Bean where I got a daily bowl of steel-cut oats that came with almonds, raisens and dried cranberries. To that, I added a side of really fresh blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. It was delish!

A CSA share is my first staple - 3 years ago DH and I started with a half share of 20 weeks of vegetables/goodies. This year we decided to graduate to a full share because we spent last year buying local veggies and fruit to supplement our half share. I also have a 6 x 3 raised bed for extra greens and herbs.

Fridge & pantry:
nonfat greek yogurt
hummos
brown rice
canned low sodium & dry beans
whole wheat & unbleached white flour
eggs
egg whites (add equivalent volume of egg whites to whole egg to make b-fast burritos)
avacados
quinoa
dried fruit
local honey
steel cut oats
chopped nuts (I buy walnuts, almonds & pecans, mix them and add to oatmeal)
spices (mostly for mediterranean and indian flavors)
tomato juice
grapefruit juice
winter squash & sweet potatoes (to make baked chips or roasted cubes for salad)
kettle cooked reduced fat potato chips (gotta indulge every now and then)
5 year old whole wheat & rye sourdough starter
truvia & raw sugar (DH will only use sugar, seems to use less if raw)
oranges, lemons, & limes

Freezer:
fish (no farm raised, mostly wild caught cod, salmon & halibut)
locally raised chicken & turkey
locally raised beef
single serving size raspberry sorbet (i can't be trusted with a 'normal' size )

This is all great information! Here are my wholesome faves:

Eggs
Low fat cheese
Sourdough bread (put those three together and you've got an egg "mockmuffin"--a common breakfast for me)
Old fashioned oats (I prefer cooked with milk)
Milk
Maple syrup for my oatmeal
Extra lean turkey bacon
Deli turkey
Chicken breasts
Tons of salad -- baby greens, shredded cabbage, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes
Supplemented with other crunchies....nuts, water chestnuts, chow mein noodles (just a little bit!), seeds
And some sweet accents...in moderation as well...mandarin oranges packed in juice, golden raisins, chopped apple, dried cranberries
Grapes! Lots of 'em
Tofu
Brown rice
Extra lean ground turkey and beef
Salmon, shrimp, and other fish would be on the list but my husband hates seafood so I only eat it when I dine out (similarly, he abstains from some foods I find too stinky to bear)
Other treats...kashi chewy granola bars, kashi golean and golean crunch, skinny cow ice cream sandwiches (not health food but a step up from a drive thru milkshake)
