It's time to take a peek into my kitchen
to see what's doing for January. I'm in Florida.
I'm joining Sherry's IMK (In My Kitchen) "blog share" for the month of January. IMK, as the name implies, is an opportunity for bloggers to give readers a peek into what's going on in their kitchens.
Storage Bins for a Small Refrigerator
My refrigerator in my Florida kitchen is small (22 Cu/ft) and is a side by side. I have difficulty fitting everything into it.
I bought little bins to hold my fruit and it seems to help. Those two bins take up an entire shelf in the refrigerator.
Dried Olives From Turkey
Next, we are enjoying these dehydrated dried black olives. They are extremely tasty and come from Turkey.
Organic Non GMO Popcorn Kernels
I do like to eat popcorn but the small microwave packets contain a chemical that releases with the steam that is bad for the lungs. I buy these popcorn kernels at Whole Foods- I pop the corn in the microwave in a bowl. They are organic and Non-Gmo and pop easily.
Higher Protein Chickpea Pasta
I bought a box of pasta made from chickpeas at Costco.
It contained 5 packages of 8 ounce pasta. I made a pasta and mushroom stir fry this week.
Food For Traveling - Rice and Bean Pouches
I store two microwaveable packages in my pantry for a just in case meal. If I need to be out for the day or even travel, I need to bring food with me since I am not only vegan- I am also gluten-free. It's really difficult for me to find healthy food that meets my criteria when I'm traveling. These packages do not require refrigeration and can be heated in the microwave in minutes for a filling satisfying tasty meal. Both have no oil added. Black beans and rice anyone?
My Birthday Flowers
My husband got me flowers for my birthday at the end of December, which are still hanging around my kitchen!
My favorite color is pink and especially mixed with white baby's breath. This combination seems soothing and pretty to me.
