A Look Into My Fridge

I randomly took a few pictures of the inside of my fridge. I did not rearrange a thing. I just snapped away. A lot of people are always curious to know what’s inside a Dietitian’s fridge. Well, here’s your chance to see. Nothing super exciting, and no, I am not perfect in my ability to stock a super healthy fridge. You must remember that I live with a 6′ 3″ triathlete.

• Whole Wheat Bread
• Corn Syrupy Grape jelly: My boyfriend uses it. I prefer a lower sugar jelly.
• Hummus
• Well-Educated Balance
• Leftover Whole Wheat Noodles
• Yogurt: All different kinds
• 8 Blocks of Cabot Cheese: Cabot sent me a ton of reduced fat cheeses to use for my supermarket shopping tours.
• Eggs: Perfect cheap quality protein that can be used for all sorts of recipes
• Skim milk, light mayo, almond butter, dried cranberries, fruits, and veggies…
• Leftover Chinese: Hot and Sour Soup! Delicious!
• Tequila, Gin, White Wine

The Fridge Door

Butter: Yes, sometimes I need butter for a recipe or baking. This carton of butter has been sitting around for quite a few months. Roasted red peppers, lite soy sauce, various mustards, Asian condiments for cooking stir-fry Fish Oil Pills: It’s better to keep them in the fridge because they stay fresher longer. Fish oil is good for all kinds of things–most importantly, heart health. All kinds of light dressings Water Filter: I’m being Eco-friendly, and filtering out the crappy taste of our tap water. Corn Syrupy Maple Syrup: We never use this. It is probably over 2 years old.  Lizano Sauce: Found this when I went to Costa Rica. It is their most popular condiment, and taste amazing on everything (like ketchup), probably because it is full of sodium. Has a tangy cumin flavor. More random condiments, and raisins for oatmeal (or when I don’t eat enough fruit). The Freezer

• Frozen Broccoli: Our go-to vegetable
• Sweet Potato Fries
• Fish Sticks: A healthier version
• Frozen Berries: For smoothies mainly
• More frozen vegetables
• Shrimp
• Ice Cream Sandwiches: I love ice cream, and I try not to keep a huge tub of ice cream around all the time. I just don’t like all the junk they put in most lighter ice creams. So, these ice cream sandwiches are a pretty good dessert choice. They have about 150 calories, about 5 grams fat, 12 grams sugar (not too bad for a dessert!). And they are delicious.

• Orange and Lime Concentrate: My boyfriend uses this to make daiquiris sometimes, but we rarely ever use it. 
• Light English Muffins
• Ice packs for bringing my lunch to work
• Frozen Ground Beef
• More Frozen Vegetables
• Phyllo Dough for making Spanakopita months ago
• 1 no sugar added fudgsicle left!

I have realized that my fridge is kind of a mess. I am the kind of person that loves everything to be neat, organized, and clean. It makes me feel calm and collected. I think I just gave up trying to be perfect because my boyfriend just gets things messy after I clean-up. Sorry, it’s true. And I have just learned to not be so rigid. I just don’t care as much as I used to.
I hope you’ve enjoyed peeking into my fridge. What’s in your fridge?
