Hello!

I'm living off-campus this semester and moving into my first apartment in 5 days. I do have a meal plan, but don't really want to go to campus too often so I'd like to be able to make most meals at my apartment. I have a stove, oven, microwave, etc. I'm looking for advice on what to keep in my fridge/pantry/freezer as I've never really cooked like this before.

I'm planning on getting some basic stuff like a carton of eggs, a quart of milk, bread, flour, sugar, etc, but I'd like to have a decent stock of things that I will likely use. I plan on having things that can also act as a meal, like protein powder that I can make a shake out of and protein bars. I like making soups with various vegetables, but I'd also like to experiment with making meals that are healthy and I can make last for a week or more. Any advice for spices/herbs to buy? Frozen or fresh vegetables? Things to always have in your pantry? Honestly, any advice would be great here.

I'm sorry if this has been posted many times before!
