Funday Monday-show us your fridge

okay so along with my temporary pantry here I've got your standard fare here. Spinach for my hubby's salad, random can of fruit chilling for the hubby also, a grapefruit, partial jar of spaghetti sauce, rice, milk and orange juice. Second shelf, umm cottage cheese that needs eaten, partial jars of pizza sauce, butter, sour cream, mmm big batch of sloppy joe, blueberries, yogurt, and other miscelleanous. Bottom shelf, 2 containers of eggs, I made cookies last night, and I plan on making something with hard boiled eggs soon, and they peel better if they've been sitting around for a while, carrots and mushrooms, string cheese, sugar free jello, and light yogurt. Umm. There's probably more in there, and I didnt get a pic of the door, but it basically has chocolate syrup, jar of homemade strawberry jam, dill pickle relish, olives, ketchup, mustard both regular and honey, barbeque sauce, light mayo, etc. I also have a small chest freezer that is full of pounds of hamburger, ice cream bars, frozen pizzas, fish type things, and frozen pasta. and I mean full! I love having a full pantry, it's a safe feeling of some sort, how about you? I also try and do a big shop once a month--which I just did Saturday, and do less shopping throughout the rest of the time. What you may not see is bottled water or soda. 2 gut wrenching days and I weaned myself off of caffiene. Tough stuff. I'm trying to drink more water, so the bottles were probably sitting around half sipped out of. I have SOME caffiene free soda, but I'm limiting myself to a splash mid-afternoon, we'll see how long I can do that! If you're saying hi just for the fridge, feel free to book mark me and come back for a visit some time soon!

Congratulations on the caffiene weaning, I say while sipping my morning coffee.

I haven't had a soda in 10 months. But, I do drink one cup of coffee in the morning and an iced coffee in the afternoon. So, bravo to you for kicking it!!

I LOVE having a fridge/freezer and pantry jammed full. I guess it's better to spend the money on that than on having a jammed closet full of shoes.

Oh. Wait. I do that, too :)

I gave up caffiene a few years ago, now I drink peppermint tea!

I wish I could wean myself off caffine. I'm addicted!

Nice fridge. Thanks for sharing...

Happy Fun Monday!

String cheese is a staple food in my fridge. It's one of those snack foods the kids can get on their own.

I haven't weaned off caffeine, but have dramatically reduced my soda consumption. I hardly ever drink the stuff. Keep up the good (and hard) work!

I try to keep my caffiene intake to 2 cups a day but recently this has crept up by a couple on some days.

You've got a well stocked fridge there!!

I couldnt live without my coffee!Even then I limit myself to 2-3 cups in the AM. I hardly drink soda anymore. The sodas in my fridge are the hubbys. Do you know that one can of soda per day puts on 10 pounds over a years time? I heard that somewhere!

I also do a big shopping trip once a month then the rest of the weeks I do smaller trips. It seems easier that way to me!

Congrats on kicking the caffiene habit. It can be brutal. Looks like lots of good things in your fridge. Happy Monday!

I know exactly what you mean feeling safer with a well stocked fridge/freezer/pantry!

we did the gut wrenching caffeine w/d once. Then we started coffee again. But, no pop. I gave up diet pepsi.

who made the jam?
I have some grape jelly in mine from last year.
