What’s In My Fridge?

For anyone curious, there’s lots of empty space on the shelves of my refrigerator but the vegetable drawers at the bottom are standing room only. Why don’t I start with what’s always on the shelves in my fridge:

• Container of crudité (carrots, cabbage chunks, radishes)
• Container of cut papaya or mango
• Milk
• Eggs
• Buttermilk
• Mayonnaise (avocado-based)
• My butter-mix
• Avocado oil
• Champagne vinegar
• Homemade salad dressing
• A few mini apples
• Granola bars
• Four containers of nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pistachios)
• Dark chocolate cashew clusters
• Homemade peanut butter and almond butter
• Container of apple bread or lemon blueberry loaf (depending on season)
• Blueberry and blackberry  jam
• Low sodium soy sauce
• Mustard
• Pickles

And down in the crisper drawers, I always keep….

• 2 kinds of lettuce (usually romaine and red leaf)
• Cabbage
• Carrots
• Celery
• Onion
• Radicchio
• Granny Smith apples for baking
• Iceberg lettuce for sandwiches
• Baby spinach
• Broccoli
• Bell peppers

I buy other vegetables when needed for a certain recipe like zucchini, green beans, Swiss chard, beets, or Brussels sprouts (don’t make a face! 🤢) You don’t have to love Brussels sprouts but put on your big boy apron and cook them! 🙂 They’re one of the top cancer-fighting vegetables you can eat. Next post, I’ll talk about what’s NOT in my fridge and why…
