Ingredients + What to do with them

This list is mostly what I would buy if I were settling down in a place for a few months. A few things about my diet: I don't eat much gluten (bread, pasta, etc.) so I haven't included it. The toggles give more info on each ingredient: tips on use, etc. Please adjust all measurements to your own personal preferred taste. I never measure anything, so I have no clue how much I put in anything – everything is a guess and likely to be way off (or not, idk)
