What’s In My Refrigerator? – Part 3

“What three things do you want to accomplish this year? Write them down and place them on your refrigerator for inspiration all year long.” Unknown
I’m often asked the question, “So, what’s in your refrigerator?” As a wellness coach, I’ve helped clients “alter” what they keep in their cupboards and refrigerator. However, I thought our readers might enjoy seeing what I keep on hand.
So Jerry pulled out our trusty little Flip Video Camera and we filmed a new video series for you. Please note that I didn’t go out and shop before we did this, so the refrigerator isn’t overly full. But you’ll get an idea of some of the staples I use in food preparation.
Today is our third look at what’s in our refrigerator. I will do half of the shelves this time and will finish the set in the next Daily Gram with one final peek inside. Again, I didn’t shop before doing this video, so the refrigerator is not overly full.
I’m introducing you to what I’ve coined as “nutola.” Since granola is made with grains, and I consume very few grains, I created nutola. (I still sometimes desire a cereal-type of food but choose to not eat commercial cereal.) For nutola, I chop up nuts that I’ve soaked and dried and then add ground flax seeds and coconut. We eat it with warmed coconut milk. The nuts are still raw with live enzymes.
I also mention Vegenaise as the mayonnaise I recommend. Honestly, there is no perfect mayonnaise. Most all commercial mayonnaise is made with soybean oil which I avoid. There are various options of Vegenaise which is made by Follow Your Heart. I recommend the one with the bright purple lid and label, as it is made with grapeseed oil.
You’ll see my spelt sourdough starter that is used to make sourdough spelt bread. I also show you coconut oil that’s solidified. When coconut oil is cold, it will harden and turn white. I keep a small jar in the cupboard for everyday use. In the winter months the oil is soft but still white. As temperatures warm up, the oil will become an almost clear liquid.
I’ve written Daily Grams on Kombucha. It’s a great beverage for supporting overall intestinal health. Try some today. I recommend the plain (blue label). Jerry calls it “high-test.”
You’ll also see that I recommend organic, whole milk yogurt — NOT low-fat. And I buy plain, not flavored. Even the organic fruited yogurts contain sugar, I’m sorry to say. If you want a sweetened yogurt, buy the plain and add some honey, or stevia and vanilla extract. Just this evening, I made us a quick dessert by blending plain yogurt, slightly thawed organic strawberries, and a pinch of honey and vanilla. It was yummy!

Father, thank You that You desire for us to be healthy and well and that You provide food for us that will nourish us and not cause harm.
Blessings on you as you decide what changes you can make with what’s in your frig.
