We have small candies, purple skittles,

thinks he needs it.

Fresh fruits and veggies like peppers, strawberries,

stuff to make salad, Oreos.

Down here are the vegetables that we get

from the veggie co-op that we like to volunteer at.

We really haven't stocked up on much

except for milk and bread.

We don't have that much but my favorite thing we have

are these chocolate crepes.

Cereal, we have cookies, rice over here,

pasta, macaroni and cheese, Nutri-Grain bars,

and some dairy products and a couple of adult beverages

for my parents.

Eggs, milk, all the necessities.

And then we are the family of snacks

so we have chips, peanut butter, Oreos are a necessity.

Okay, so in the freezer I have a lot of veggie burgers.

We have some frozen tortellini, some frozen ravioli,

and then we have ice cream sandwiches

and some frozen bread.

Water, cereal, granola

and some Ben & Jerry's.

Over here we have our little bar cart

equipped with lots of gluten-free snacks

because that's sadly something I have to deal with.

I've got all sorts of little popcorn snacks

and of course the little stockpile of wine

should we need it, and we definitely will.

We used to be pretty stocked up on wine,

but we're only left with one bottle

so that's going to have to change.

So the top section is just food, that's my roommates.

So we meal prep heavily, so we're still continuing

to meal prep.

More of my fresh produce and veggies.

And also, you can't go through a pandemic

without tequila, right?

I made sure to stock up on non-carb pastas.

So I have some Chia seed pasta here.

A lot of beans, garbanzo, red beans, of course my wine.

For snacks, I've got some tortilla chips

that I'll make guacamole with.

Some chili lime chips, popcorn, couple of crackers, granola.

I have a ton of grains and rice, quinoa, flaxseed,

beans, my favorite coffee right here.

This stuff is the best.

This is the inside of my fridge.

As I could mention I don't do a great job

at food shopping so I just have

really a ton of juice and alcohol.

Because we're gonna be in this for a while it seems like.

Inside of this pantry you'll find a lot

of canned goods, nothing out of the ordinary

that I don't normally have and a whole lot of spices.

So crushed tomatoes so that I can always make

a good red sauce.

We have pistachios and Zbars and protein bars

and almonds and some pasta.

And then of course some soups and Doritos

and of course bread for sandwiches and potatoes.

A lot of canned foods and pastas.

Of course you've got to have

some sweet treats in there, right?

brown rice, and I always keep tons of water.

Refrigerator is stocked with some pulled pork, pasta.

So this is what my fridge looks like.

cleaned and ready to be defrosted

and put into the pan to cook.

I also have extra dessert that I can just

pop into the oven and prepare.

It's much easier when you have things prepared

ahead of time so that you don't have to wait for it

and you have to go out and get it.
