A la MTV Cribs...The Fridge

First of all, is MTV Cribs even still on the air? I never really watched it because I was generally disgusted with how people chose to spend their money. The one part that I sort of enjoyed was when the celebs would open up their fridge and show the contents. Of course, usually it was filled with perfectly lined up bottles of Cristal Champagne and Gatorade. This fascination coincides with my interest in/critique of the items in other peoples grocery carts. It's a sickness. Nonetheless...I thought I'd give you a cribs style tour of my refrigerator/freezer. 

(And the added bonus is that it would get me to organize the stupid thing...something that I've been meaning to do for ages)

Lets start with the staples: I would say that these are items that we pick up on a weekly basis.

-Organic Milk (I prefer Skim, H prefers 2% so we generally compromise with 1%, but apparently he went and picked it out himself this week, so 2% it is.)

-Yoplait Smoothies (H likes them, I am not a yogurt fan, unfortunately.)

-Mendota Sparkling Water (Love this stuff! I also love mixing it half and half with cranberry juice)

-100% Juice Cranberry Juice. (H loves it but it's a little strong for me, so like I said, I mix it with Mendota.)

-Fresh Veggies (I plan my meals for the week before I go to the store, so the exact type depends on my menu)

-Fresh Fruit (We like to cut up fruit for dessert so I pick out whatever looks good. At the moment I have a zillion apples that I need to use up from our trip to Eckerts.)

-All Natural Chicken Tenderloins (Freezer item--the chicken I use in all of my chicken dishes. I have to hunt these down because most stores don't carry the grain fed/hormone free/ "all natural kind.")

-Frozen Shrimp and Tilapia. (I hate the "fishiness" of most frozen seafood, but I seem to do ok with shrimp and tilapia for some reason.)

-Frozen Peas (I love adding them into sauces for pasta for color and a little nutrition boost)

-Cheese (Shredded and Grated Parm, shredded Mozz, a block of something fabulous to have with a glass of wine. I can't help it.....I love cheese!)  

Notable items:

-My water container. It is made with the "good" type of plastic and holds a ton more than my old Brita filter. I don't mind the taste of St. Louis tap water, so this is perfect for cool drinking water. (I usually add lemon)

-My glass "tupperware." No plastic "leeching" for us. 

Embarrassing Items: Yes, it is full disclosure time. Time to head to the freezer...

-Stir Fry "Meal" (I hate buying stuff like this--you know completely pre-made and processed, but I usually keep a bag of this on hand for those occasional hectic nights.)

-Misc Frozen Goodies (Edy's Mint Chocolate Chip Ice-Cream, Lemon Icy things, Sorbet...I think there are some ice cream pops down there somewhere too.)

-Wonder Bread (I wish I could go to a bakery and pick up fresh bread every day, but  lets face it --that's never going to happen. The tasteless white stuff it is!)

-Spray Butter (Is this one embarrassing? The sad thing is, I think I buy it out of laziness rather than it's "fat free" quality. It is easier to spray this than spread than the real stuff.)

-The large bottle of vodka, numerous beers and open bottle of wine. We like our cocktails!

Am I the only one that finds this stuff fascinating? I'm thinking I might need to do a pantry version....it also needs organizing. :)
