What's in YOUR fridge?

Are you as curious as I am when it comes to other peoples refrigerators?! My mother in law for instance, as an exceptionally clean fridge and the items in it might even be in alphabetical order! Her freezer is the same way! What a great quality to have!

This year we switched from plastic storage containers to the Pyrex glass containers to store food. There's just something about plastic that I don't quite trust. The Pyrex is nice because I can throw the leftovers right into the microwave with out transferring to a glass plate. Plus they just look nice in the fridge!

Here's my fridge today! It's always organized the same. Condiments on the top (pickles etc.) Drinks on the middle shelf. Leftovers on the 3rd shelf. Tortilla's, small ketchup packets, dressing packets etc. in the drawer. Eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt and fruits on the bottom shelf. Produce in the 1st drawer and lunch meats and cheeses in the bottom drawer. If we're gone for a long weekend I toss the bread, buns, banana bread and muffins in there too.

So what's in YOUR fridge?

Mini Cornmeal Pancakes

We make toddler style cornmeal pancakes about every 2 months. This is a nice, healthy alternative to the basic pancake recipe. I found this winner a while ago in my Joy of Cooking cookbook. It makes a huge batch so we eat few and freeze the rest in a Ziploc. When I need a quick breakfast I take a few out, break the frozen cakes into pieces and toss them in the micro for a few seconds. Breakfast is served in less than 3 minutes!

The recipe calls for 1/4 c. maple syrup which I substitute with local honey. They become less sweet, but when you eat them with syrup, you don't notice.
