I wanted to blog about my trip back to college last weekend, but there are several pictures I need to organize, and I ended up watching a lot of college football yesterday, and I just haven’t had time yet. If you want, you can see the pictures in my Flickr set here. There is a lot I want to say about those pictures, so hopefully by next weekend I’ll have a post up.

Today I’m going to do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’m going to show you the contents of my kitchen. I seem to blog about my kitchen a lot, but your kitchen says a lot about you. And I know you want to know more about me. Why wouldn’t you? I’m fascinating. I took these picture right after grocery shopping, so this is about as full as my kitchen gets. You can click on any of the pictures in this post to see a larger version. The first picture is the inside of my refrigerator. Yeah, you probably figured that out didn’t you?

So much food, where do I begin? In the freezer there are a few lean cuisines. This is what I eat when I’m lazy and desperate. Below that are Spinach Munchies and a few related items. I have to thank CosmosGirl for introducing me to Spinach Munchies in her blog. They are like pizza rolls filled with spinach and some type of cheese. I also like the Broccoli Cheese Munchies. Below the munchies are frozen vegetables. I’m trying to eat more vegetables, but those vegetables have been in my freezer for a few months. Do frozen vegetables ever go bad?

In the top of the refrigerator, I have iced tea, mixed berries, and soy milk. I drink soy milk because soy is supposed to be healthy or something. Iced tea is my great addiction. I love unsweetened black iced tea. Those berries are from Whole Foods, and they are ridiculously expensive when you buy them all cut up like that. This does not seem to stop me from buying them. For snacks I have Sargento Chipotle Cheddar cheese sticks. These are amazing, just the right amount of spicy. I also have hard boiled eggs. I love hard boiled eggs, and aren’t the brown eggs pretty? They look so nice, I can’t imagine ever buying plain old white eggs again. In the beverage department, I have a bottle of wine, Sam Adam’s October Fest, pomegranate juice, and lemon flavored sparkling water. I have sparkling water instead of pop because I drink too much pop at work. (That’s right, I said pop, deal!). I like to mix a little of the pomegranate juice and sparkling water together for a healthy bubbly drink. It’s tasty, try it.

The picture above is the only cabinet I have filled with food. I have lots of cans of beans. Beans are very good for you, they have fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Eat more beans. Right now you are probably thinking that I fart a lot. Not really, if you eat beans regularly, your body adjust. Seriously. TMI? You can also see my tea and coffee. The coffee is only for guest, I never make my own coffee, too much work. Below that are my granola bars and nuts. I have a granola bar and soy milk for breakfast everyday, and a handful of nuts every night. Nuts are also very healthy. Eat more nuts. Oh, and on the top shelf is brown rice, sugar, and baking soda.

Finally, here is a small cabinet with some spices and other baking needs. I used to have a lot more spices, but I threw them out when I had my kitchen remodeled. So what do you think? You probably think I’m a little bit of a health nut. Kind of, but not really. A while ago I read the book SuperFoods RX by Steven Pratt. It changed they way I look at food. Instead of trying not too eat too much, now I try to focus more on eating healthy less processed foods. Things like nuts and berries and whole grains. That being said, I still eat out a lot and go to Ted Drew’s almost every week. I’m hoping the good foods will cancel out the bad foods You might also notice that I get a lot of my food at Whole Foods. This is mostly a matter of convenience. I do like Whole Foods, but I mainly go there because I live right behind it. Okay, that is all. If you have a blog, you should blog about what’s in your kitchen. I want to see it
