Kitchenventory

Yup, I made up a new word: kitchenventory. This is my list of stuff to keep in the kitchen or at least keep tabs on (for example, we don't need to always have beer brats in the fridge, but I use them pretty often, so I need to know whether we have some in the fridge or if I need to pick some up).

I've broken the list down into where things go in the kitchen: cabinet, fridge, freezer, counter top, and spice rack. There's also the miscellaneous list (for non-food items like foil and paper towels) and the non-kitchen list (for things like cat food and cat litter and toilet paper).

Cabinet
dry pasta, rice, flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, bouillon (chicken, beef, and vegetable), tortillas, hot sauce, vanilla, vinegar, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, bbq sauce, onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, syrup, Pam, sriracha, Bisquick, canned pineapple

Refrigerator
Always: butter, Parmesan, wonton wrappers, wine (white and red)
Sometimes: chicken breasts, ground beef, stew meat, pork tenderloins, bacon, sour cream, bell peppers, carrots, raw spinach, green onions, cheese, zucchini, beer brats, milk, eggs, mushrooms, cucumbers

Freezer
peas, edamame, spinach, corn

Countertop
potatoes, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, avocado, apples, vegetable oil, olive oil, sesame oil

Spice Rack
garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt & pepper, cayenne, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes

Miscellaneous
aluminum foil, slow cooker liners, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, Ziploc (quart and sandwich sizes)

Non-kitchen
cat food, cat litter, toilet paper, naproxen, Tylenol, cleaning products, toothpaste (and toothbrushes), laundry detergent

I'm sure that changes will be made (additions, removals, replacements) but this looks pretty solid to me so far. If I had enough of these ingredients in the kitchen, I could feed us for at least a month and not get bored with food.
