#10: if your refrigerator is running, you better go catch it

Having an efficiently run and organized refrigerator makes meal planning, generating grocery lists, and daily life function much smoother. Ensuring your fridge is stocked with the essentials (listed below) will allow you to whip up almost anything with no notice whatsoever. Buy what works for you and your family. Here's my list of key ingredients to always have on hand in the fridge:

1. unsalted butter
2. tomato paste
3. garlic 
4. a jar of capers
5. vegetable (and / or chicken) broth
6. fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, rosemary, cilantro, basil, etc.)
7. whole milk
8. heavy cream
9. white cooking wine
10. lemons & limes
11. ginger
12. avocados
13. onions
14. shallots
15. eggs
16. parmesan cheese
17. carrots
18. celery
19. maple syrup
20. greek yogurt
21. tahini
22. mayonaise 
23. dijion mustard
24. kalamata olives

I hope today's episode gives you a sense of how I meal plan, prep, and rotate throughout the week. I also encourage you to go back and listen to episode two, which is all about creating a sustainable meal plan, if you haven’t already listened.
