<>>2. Milk.
You should always have some low fat milk on hand. Cereal in the
morning is a great way to get a good easy meal.
3. Fruit.
Always have some fruit on hand. It is great for snacking. You
can eat fruit and instead of potato chips.
4. Carrots.
These are great for snacking. Just add some low fat dip and you
have a snack that will rival any deep fried snacks.
5. Peanut butter.
This is a great way to get some protein without having to worry
about the fat. Use it on your toast for breakfast instead of butter.
v6. Eggs.
You need these for baking and other specialities. Also they are
great for a protein filled breakfast.
7. Yogurt.
This is great for hot summer days. You can make tons of drinks
out of this. Also, it is great with chicken. You should learn a bit
about Indian cooking for more ways to use yogurt. Indians love yogurt
and eat it often.
8. Butter.
You shouldn't suck on butter like you do a lollipop. But,
butter is a must for baked goods. Also, fried eggs taste great cooked
in butter.
9. Lemons.
These are a must if you eat a lot of seafood. Also, a cold
glass of lemonade is great after a hard days work.
10. Mayo.
Don't use this stuff every day. But, you do need to use some if
you make tuna or chicken salad. It can also be great on low fat cuts
of chicken and such. It is good on items that are dry. Make sure to
buy the low fat kind and to use as little as possible.
11. Mustard. I like to use this instead of mayo on sandwiches.
It is a great way to knock out the fat.
12. Cheese.
This is a must have. Don't eat too much of it. But, cheese is
the beauty of life. It can make a dull dish come alive.
13. Drinks.
Always have some drinks on hand. Have some fruit juice, beer
and sodas in the ice box. Don't go over board with them, but have a
beer from time to time as a treat.
14. Fresh ginger.
This will keep for a long time in your ice box. Don't cover it
or anything like that. Keep it whole in your ice box for best keeping.
15. Bread.
You should always have some bread on hand. Don't go hog wild
here on the carbs. A good sandwich is great from time to time. I would
suggest that you find a local bakery and buy your bread there. Don't
buy that awful white stuff that has been sitting on the shelf for who
knows how long.
16. Canned veggies and fruits.
When in a pinch, canned is better than none at all. Even though
I suggest that you always eat fresh fruits and veggies, you should
have some canned ones on hand. How do you know when you will have a
craving for corn and not have any fresh on hand? Canned food can last
a very long time, so you don't have to eat it right away.
17. Pasta.
Want a meal in a minute? Pasta is the way to go. It cooks
quickly and easily.
18. Rice.
Same as pasta.
19. Spices and herbs.
Always keep some of these on hand. Go to a place where you can
buy them in bulk. Don't buy those little containers in the store. Not
only are they too expensive, but you don't know how long they have
been sitting there. When you buy from a place that sells bulk, you
know that you will be getting fresh items.
20. Cereal.
Great for that last minute breakfast.
Have some of this on hand so you don't have to wait in line at the
fast food joint to get your heart attack on a muffin. |
