Fridge Foods
Foods I Keep Stocked in My Refrigerator or Freezer:
Protein/Fat Sources (mostly from local farms)
- Chicken (pastured – free roaming)
- Eggs (preferable pastured – free roaming, if not, then eggs similar to Eggland’s Best and fed omega 3 and antioxidant-rich diets)
- Beef (any cut, grass-fed/finished – NO CAFO, often from a cow share)
- Ground beef for quick meals (grass-fed/finished)
- Turkey (ground, etc)
- Shrimp (wild caught)
- Lamb
- Unprocessed cheese (for food cravings)
- Bacon for quick-fix meals (not too much!, no nitrates, uncured)
- Grass-fed butter
- Pork chops, pork loin
- Individually wrapped fish filets can be quickly cooked on the skillet (wild! Salmon most often for its omega 3)
- Olives
- Cream (whole cream for coffee, etc.)
Carbohydrate/Fiber Sources
- Green or bold-colored, leafy fresh vegetables
- Green spinach (quick, easy, goes in anything)
- Orange, yellow, or green peppers (almost always, good in any meal and store for long a time)
- Broccoli
- Tomatoes
- Frozen vegetables in case you are short on fresh veggies
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Kiwi (among others)
- Sweet potatoes (cook in grass-fed butter with cinnamon)
- Frozen berries for smoothies, etc. (can store longer than fresh fruit)
- Depending on the season, other random fruit and vegetables
- Red wine – yes, you read that right
- Dark chocolate (the higher fat/fiber, lower sugar the better)
