J Day to K2K: Fridge and Freezer

J Day to K2K: Fridge to Freezer

Hey everybody this is the last J Day blog.  I am still juicing for one to two meals still but i have started to eat "real" food and it has been great. I promised a Fridge and Freezer blog and here it is.  What we have ready to eat in our fridge and freezer is vital to the exit strategy.  We are, or may be, impulse eaters; busy days or sickness or laziness or any adverse situation can lead us to making bad decisions about what to eat.  We want it now or "I want it to comfort me" is where we go to make bad choices so stock your F&F with health alternatives.

Fridge   
1. FRESH fruits and vegetables.  I stress fresh because canned fruits and veg are worthless and full or sodium and/or sugar.  Look at the bounty in that pic.  A mixture of items will keep things interesting.  Mix it up, choose things that would not normally be in the fridge like:
Fennel: Great on salads thinly sliced or my favorite, in tomato soup.
Red Cabbage: Use in place of green cabbage, raw cooked Yum-O
Frisee: Bitter greens that make a great salad
Root Vegi's: Use these in place of white potatoes; Rutabagas, parsnips, beets, carrots, turnips
Hearty Greens: Mustards, turnips and collards are great...RAW. Mustard greens give a salad a little kick and collard slaw is wonderful.
