The Rebeccammendations: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
Nobody likes to move. Well, living in a new place is fun, but the act of moving from one place to another is one of life’s biggest pains. And there are few rooms as tedious to move from one place to another as the kitchen.
I know this. You know this. Rebecca Otis knows this. The blogger behind The Rebeccammendations, which is nominated for an Austin Blogger Award, recently moved into a new place and thought to photograph her new fridge as it was first getting stocked. (She also had a few of her famous chocolate truffles she’d made for a wedding to show off.)
What were the first three things you make sure to stock in your new fridge? Hot sauce. I’m from El Paso, so growing up on the border made me appreciate anything spicy. 2. Light Vanilla Silk soymilk. I have it with Kashi cereal every morning to start my day on the right foot. 3. Fresh fruits and veggies. I pretty much only freeze my favorite late night snack. Everything else in my kitchen is fresh or in the pantry, so fruits and veggies are a must. Right now, citrus is in season, so a bag of Clementines and grapefruits are waiting for me to dig in. Acorn squash is also on the menu for this week.
Did you move anything like condiments or jelly from one fridge to the new one? Yes! Austin’s Own BBQ Sauce (Border Edition, for turkey sandwiches), Caravel Sweet Chili sauce (for homemade spring rolls), Tears of Joy’s 6th Street Green salsa and a jar of minced roasted garlic.
What’s your go-to late-night snack, besides homemade truffles? Frozen mini York peppermint patties. If you’re visiting me in the evening, you’re almost always offered one (or two or three) after dinner.
