| | I'm not a calorie-counter... as a matter of fact, I don't count calories, fat grams, trans-fat grams, cholesterol, sugar, or carbohydrates. My job is to eat food, not analyze it; of course, that's probably the reason I only take profile pics from the neck up, but hey, at least my taste-buds are happy, right?
I've noticed lately that there are certain edible items that my kitchen is never without:
- Flavor Blasted Goldfish: X-Tra Cheddar: I actually hate the regular kind of goldfish since there's hardly enough cheese flavor to notice it's there, but the Flavor Blasted kind is sinfully full of cheesey goodness. I like to eat a few and then lick the excess cheese powder from my fingers. Not only is it a culinary delight, but it's incredibly sexy to watch; my husband positively drools at the sound of my slurping.
- Chips and hot sauce: Being a thoroughly Texan girl living in a rural town in Oklahoma with a severe lack of mexican restaurants, the only thing that gets me through between visits back home is my supply of tortilla chips and hot sauce. I actually warm the hot sauce up in the microwave to give it a more restaurant-type taste.
- Yellow squash: I can make a whole meal out of sauteed squash seasoned with Lowry's Black Pepper. This is one of my husband's favorite side dishes when I make baked chicken. This is, of course, seasonal, but the military grocery store I shop at is normally pretty good about having it on hand.
- Honey mustard: I will eat honey mustard on practically anything-- pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, french fries, sandwiches, carrots, chicken. It's absolutely the best condiment besides ketchup.
- Fiber One granola bars: These help me give the illusion that I eat healthily, and they also do well to fill me up in the morning and get me through two hours of work and two classes before I have time to get home for lunch during the week.
- Chef Boyardee Ravioli: One can of this is absolutely perfect for a quick lunch between classes and it's cheap to buy. It's more filling than a can of soup but not as heavy as a full fledged meal-- quick, easy, and light.
What foods do you keep your kitchen stocked with?
