I love going to different grocery stores! Spices are always hard because they make a meal but are not usually stocked. Our standards are: shakshuka, Brazilian black beans, portobello/chicken fajitas (leftovers as burrito bowls), veg/noodle soup with side of green beans or glazed carrots, baked potato and toppings. And we tend to get cheeses, crackers, fruits, etc to make picnic lunches
Yes, we brought basic spices with us and replenish them as we're able. Finding beans as we've traveled has been tricky, so we really haven't had any in a while. And cheese types vary quite a bit depending on the country. Anything baked or roasted in an oven has also been tricky, as so many places (especially in Asia) don't have ovens. You end up getting creative based on what you can access!
