What I'll Most Likely Be Cooking WITH This Week
Tracy
You know that cool segment in the beginning of the movie Fight Club when the main character shows the contents of his fridge and it's like all condiments and virtually no staples? That's almost the sitchiation midweek here at Chez Crazy. Oh, and don't you hate it when you suddenly wake up and Brad Pitt is making soap in your kitchen, but then later you realize that Brad is really YOU? Just kidding- - -or AM I?
Although we're doing OK on milk, OJ and other items of basic nutritional value, I did a quick inventory of the various little bottles and jars of add-ons and that are weighing down the fridge door, making the hinges work harder every day. Here we go:
Econo-size squeeze bottle of Heinz ketchup, one of a two-pack from Costco
Grainy brown mustard
Yellow mustard
Honey mustard
Dijon mustard (OMG with the mustard!)
Low-fat ranch dressing
Newman's balsamic dressing
Naturally Fresh raspberry dressing
Hellman's light mayo
Thai peanut sauce
Thai sweet chili sauce
Thai hot chili oil
Land O Lakes light butter
Jar of minced garlic
Raspberry jam
Peach preserves
Squeezable grape jam
Apricot-jalapeno chutney (great on turkey sandwiches)
Low-fat sour cream
Cholula hot sauce
Green Tobasco
Green Mountain Gringo salsa
Whew! Now, for some of the other main characters that are kickin' around the fridge/freezer and also the warmer climate of the cabinets. These are a few things that I've realized I absolutely must have on hand at all times in order to fulfill everyone's daily dreams around here.
Triscuits -Himself the Husband eats them with practically everything
Pepper-jack cheese- A must for grown-up wraps and sandwiches
Little individual packs of Snyder's cheese pretzel sandwiches- there are days when my youngest practically survives on them
Goldfish crackers - See above. But I like 'em too- - they're awesome with an ice-cold glass of milk, I kid you not!
Red seedless grapes
Cups of cinnamon applesauce
Cups of Stonyfield Farm vanilla yogurt
Gala apples
Bananas
100-cal packs of Sunchips
Laughing Cow cheese wedges (great with the Triscuits and red grapes)
Skippy Natural peanut butter
Dunkin' Donuts coffee
Breyer's Light vanilla ice cream
What about you, Dawn? What are the must-haves that keep y'all alive? I bet I can guess one of 'em! I'm sure PBK is quite healthy, but how much peanut butter is TOO much??
for us, it's really all about the coffee, half and half and of course the peanut butter. the trick is trying to keep the peanut butter in stock. i've been getting our coffee at trader joe's lately and not only is it great coffee, but it's at a great price as well. also, we're big on every kind of cheese including laughing cow, lo carb tortillas, almonds, plain yogurt (stonyfield is so great), eggs, a rotisserie chicken, romaine and whatever fruit is in season at that particular time.
i will not say anything to you about the hellman's light mayo you have in your fridge except ew and how could you forsake duke's mayo? and you call yourself a southern girl? the nerve.....!
Tracy -
In my defense, I was a longtime Duke's girl, even though I grew up on (gasp) KRAFT mayo! Lately I just grab whatever's on special, so I guess Hellman's must've been a 1/2 cent lower at our local bright, shiny overpriced store. You know, the one that rhymes with "Paris Greeter" (I'd use YOUR term for it, but I'm trying to keep our little blog family-friendly. Ahem.)
