Starting Point

  When I first stumbled on the 100 days of Real Food blog, I knew I believed in the majority of her ideas and decided to slowly make the change. After spending a sum of money that I am embarrassed to divulge on our home renovation and interior design, we are not at a financial point where I feel comfortable throwing out food.

I am going to put it all out there and let you see the good, the bad, and the ugly in my kitchen. Warning I did not clean before taking these pictures ;)

 Our Fridge! Top shelf: Bottle of Pepsi (the Hubby's addiction). A jar of Olive Oil Mayo and Best Life Buttery Spread. A jar of no sugar added Jelly, A bottle of Tonic Water (that I am mixing with juice to help break Hubby's soda addiction)
Second shelf: A bottle of White Wine, a Tupperware with washed and ready to consume Organic Kale, Organic low fat Milk, A small container of whole Milk (for the whole wheat pancakes I made),  Hiding behind the milk a bottle of Whipped Cream flavored Vodka, and a bottle of Cranberry Gingerale to mix with the vodka.
Deli Drawer: has a block of cheddar cheese, and a block of parmesan cheese
Third Shelf: Bowl of washed and ready to eat organic grapes, container of washed Figs, and Tupperware with leftover Jambalaya.
Fourth Shelf: Pomegranate Juice, my lettuce spinner 1/2 full of curly green lettuce. A 2nd container of washed organic Kale and some Cilantro.
Produce Drawer: A container of washed organic spinach, broccoli, 2 zucchini, and 3 carrots.
Meat Drawer: has 1lb. of fresh local shrimp, and filets from what I was told was a "Hog Fish" that was caught in the Keys with a spear. Soon after this picture I was planning to clean the shrimp and fish before moving them to the freezer, but I got lazy after washing all the produce from the farmers market and I ended up throwing all the seafood in the freezer.
