what do you have in your fridge?

So should I be keeping onion in the fridge, because most of you don't? I put it in a tupperware type container once it's been cut?

Unpeeled onions keep for months without chilling, I tend to keep them in the fridge out of habit when the skin is off though.

At last! A fridge a bit more like mine:D Well the first 4 items at least.

Don't like mayo, so none in mine, nor yeast or flaxseeds. Rather fewer carrots too:rotfl:

Ham
Chicken
bacon
pastrami

in my fridge i always have milk, butter, meat, fish, veg, salad, yoghurt and fresh herbs. These i buy every week. Tend to choose different meat (lamb, beef, pork, chicken) and rotate cuts (e.g. chicken breasts, legs, whole chicken etc) to avoid getting in a food 'rut'. Likewise with types of fish and different herbs and veg. Things I keep in the back of my fridge are jam, marmalade, mayo, mint sauce, horseradish, apple sauce, cranberry sauce, chili jam etc. I also tend to have blueberries as I love 'em.

I would have other types of fruit, ginger, garlic, chillies in the fruit bowl and eggs out on the counter.

I have been in London with DD for a coupe of days so the fridge is fairly bare.

Had huge bowl of porridge for breakfast as it fills me up and then I do not pick at food all day!!!

Skimmed milk (lots) as I buy it in long life cartons at Lidl for 44p a litre.

Eggs

Mature cheddar cheese.

1 yoghurt

Pesto,3 cartons passata, butter.

Salad cream, two peppers and two cartons of fruit juice.

3 left over large potatoes which I will use to saute later.

I took a ham shank out of the freezer last night and also soaked a pack of dried peas overnight - added chopped potatoes, onion and leeks with boiling water and a pea and ham soup is now in my slow cooker.

I used to put carrot in the soup but DH though it was too sweet so now I use a couple of leeks instead.

Managed to stir myself enough to mix up a batch of dough for home made rolls or a loaf which is whirring away in the breadmaker and which will be baked in the oven later.

Once soup is made I will remove the ham shank - let it cool and have some in a roll or with saute potatoes (sounds posher than chips!)

Might use the peppers in an omelet later if anyone turns up their nose at soup or ham!

I usually like to have cheese,milk,eggs,cooked meat,fish,yoghurts,carrots,onions,peppers,cauliflowers,leeks and mushrooms and sieved tomato.

There are usually chicken pieces,ham shank,mince (veggie or turkey) in the freezer as well as frozen fish and some frozen veg for emergencies.

I get a real kick out of the fact that a DD or DH can look at the fridge and say "there is nothing to eat!" and half an hour later they are eating a meal!

When I get round to it I love making sweet or savoury muffins - I got the recipe from The Tightwad gazette and everybody seems to like it.
