What's In Lacey's 'Fridge?

Mike and I eat fairly similarly, but there are definitely some foods that he includes in his diet that I don't touch: bread, eggs, and his fiber one bars.  Other than that, everything in the house is about 90% in line with our raw way of eating.

How do I prep for going to the store? Well, there are some staple items that I regularly buy, just like some of you always get milk, bread, & meat.  I always buy lettuce, mixed baby greens, peppers, carrots, hummus, celery, fruit, all natural soups, and soy yogurt.  Beyond that, I usually pre-choose about 4 meals that I'm going to cook that week.  That gives the other three days for either eating leftovers or just for eating soup & salad.

This week, my meals are: vegan chili, vegan meatloaf (which I have never tried, so I'm really looking forward to this), the vegan flatbread pizza I made last night, and Quinoa & black beans.  I then add in the ingredients I'll need for these recipes to my list.  So, I needed to buy quinoa, vegan cheese, flatbread, lots of beans (kidney, black, etc), tomatoes, "meat" crumbles (for the meatloaf), corn, cilantro and some few other items.

And here is what our 'fridge & cabinets looks like.  You should always have more veggies & fruit than anything else:

Shelf 1: Water, Mike's pickles, watermelon & soy yogurt is hiding. Ignore the rum in the back. Haha

Shelf 2: Drawer with vegan cheeses & flatbread, Mike's bread & eggs, and carrots.

Shelf 3: Mixed baby greens, celery, cilantro, 2 heads of lettuce, Moroccan hummus,
Red pepper hummus, & strawberries. 

Bottom drawers: oranges, plums, red/green/yellow peppers, tomatoes, onions.

1 of the soups.

Quinoa, spicy tomato sauce for chili, ACV, garlic.

Almonds, 1 of the bags of granola, golden flax seed, oatmeal

Raisins, natural peanut butter, mixed nuts

"Meat" crumbles for meatloaf.

I also forgot to take a picture of the shelf with all of our beans.

Obviously, every shopping trip differs based on what meals I'm making, just like anyone else, but you can get an idea of what a mostly raw kitchen looks like.
