The Healthy Kitchen
I know we do threads like this all the time, but today I feel very content with the contents of my kitchen.
I have meats and chicken suitable for grilling, cottage cheese, tuna, salmon, lettuce, greens, tomatoes, celery, radishes, cucumber, zucchini, baby carrots, whole wheat bread and potatoes for my men! What about you? What are the bones of your content pantry? |
I'm happy with what I have - chicken, tuna, brown rice, string cheese, grapes, eggs (I just eat the whites of course ;)), oatmeal, and beans. I also have a few boxes of cereal - without ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.
I have to re-stock my fruit since I ate most of it over the weekend. |
I always have a bag of chicken portioned out into 4 oz and 8 oz pieces in the freezer. We eat a lot of chicken, so I buy 3 lbs at a time. I also usually have some chicken sausage and Trader Joe's salmon patties in the freeze for an emergency meal. Most other meat I buy on a weekly basis as a I need it, although there are sometimes leftovers that go in the freezer.
My other staples include: Dairy
Produce
Breakfast (Other than Dairy)
Snacks

Er... not much, since I've just moved out. :D I still have brown rice/quinoa/whole wheat pasta and the likes in the pantry, but regarding fresh foods, I'm in desperate need of going to buy groceries tomorrow. Oh yes, I have canned tuna and canned green beans (a good brand, at least, not too crap-laden). Yeah, right, I definitely need FRESH foods. And not the Chinese leftovers from my sister. Dangit, why do restaurants always serve such huge portions? Even doggie-bags are becoming dangerous nowadays!

Ooooo we went to a farmers market today. We got melons and strawberries and three colours of peppers and ground turkey and chicken thighs and beef patties and brown eggs ... it was lovely.
I just love having a bunch of fabulous food in the house! |
Indie fruit markets
I was picking up a birthday cake for a dog (yes you read that right) and I passed a small fruit market on Queen St. Had to stop and pick up some local cherries, tomatoes, and peaches (these were from U.S. but too luscious to pass up).
I will be noshing on all of this for dinner, with some artisanal rolls (sunflower seeds on top - yum) and goat cheese. Summer - ain't it GRAND!! Dagmar :wave: |
