5 Items You Should Always Have in Your Fridge

20130122-232708.jpgAs a single gal, I think having a few items in the fridge is crucial. At all times. Here are the top 5 necessities that I think you should have in your fridge at all times:

1. Champagne – If a celebratory situation arises, you simply MUST have Champagne on hand to toast! It might sit there for2 weeks or 2 years, but when the occasion arises, you’ll be glad it’s available (and already chilled)!

2. Eggs – Whether you need a snack or a meal, eggs offer the perfect option. No plans for dinner? An omlette makes for a chic and resourceful dinner option.  A boiled egg also makes for a great snack – packs a punch with protein and it’s easy to make!

3. Dijon Mustard- On a sandwich or used in homemade salad dressing, dijon mustard is a the perfect staple to have on hand.

4. Spinach – I love the versatility of spinach… it’s great for making a salad (as a main course), but it’s also great for wilting as an easy side dish. Cooked in a skillet over med-high heat for 3-5 minutes and drizzled with a little lemon and salt and pepper, it’s an addition to dinner that you can make in less than 5 minutes.

5. Soy Sauce – It’s great for adding a little zest to a last-minute stir fry or for livening up plain rice or noodles. Soy sauce is so versatile… and delicious!
