What are the foods that everyone here eats day to day?

I’m looking for more to add to my arsenal.

In my head there’s a big difference between staple foods and the kind of food that you make when guests come over.

I suppose it’s an increased emphasis on being easy/practical to make, or make in bulk as well as as nutrition. I guess it’s the staples that largely decide how the kitchen is stocked too.

    My slavic blood might be showing, but I consume plenty of root veggies. Carrots, potatoes, beets, parsnips, kohlrabis, what have you. Also cabbage. All these are usually dirt cheap too.

    I can share one pseudo-recipe, for carrots. A super easy but very comfy side meal: cube the carrots, put in some (not too much) water with salt, cook for like 15-20min. Throw in green peas (frozen or canned), then add some potato starch (preferably by premixing it with water before adding it to the cooking pot so it doesn’t clump). Stir vigorously to make sure the water gets a nice creamy consitency. You can add herbs like marjory too. Very tasty, sweet side for savory dishes.
