Hello Green Dog Wine Readers!

My name’s Angie and in the blogworld, I go by angieinatlanta.  Because my name’s Angie and I live in Atlanta.  Yes, I am just that creative!

I run Caffeinated Cardio and am absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to do a guest post here on Allison’s blog!  She’s one of the first bloggers I started reading and it’s a bit surreal to be doing a guest post.  It’s almost like having a walk-on role on your favorite television series.

For my guest post, I decided to welcome you all into my kitchen.

More specifically, I am welcoming you all in my freeze and fridge.  I have seen fridge profiles around the blogosphere and firmly agree that what a person keeps in his/her freezer/fridge can tell you a lot about his/her personality.  Let’s see what my freezer says about me!

When I look at that picture, I can almost hear my mom scolding me for letting out the cold air!

First off, let’s look in the main part of my freezer.

Across the top, you can see Pumpkin Ice Cream + 2 Carton of Publix Peanut Butter Cup Frozen Yogurt.  Along the bottom, I have Trader Joe’s Frozen Fish, Frozen Omaha Steaks, Kashi Roasted Vegetable Pizza, Pie Crusts, TruWhip, + Trader Joe’s Frozen Cioppano.

Okay, so what do all of these products say about me?  They say I believe in everything in moderation, including ice cream and frozen yogurt!  I have a little dessert every day.  Additionally, these items show that I’m a busy girl, like everyone else, so I need to have a few convenient proteins waiting for me when life gets really hectic.  I love those Trader Joe’s frozen fish because they are pre-marinated and taste fresh!  They keep me healthy when time is running short.

Let’s move on to the freezer door.

Across the top shelf, I have Organic Strawberry Fruit Bars, Organic Frozen Corn, Frozen Bananas, + Canister of Amazing Grass Chocolate Super Food. On the bottom shelf, I have Amy’s Frozen Meals – Veggie Loaf + Garden Vegetable Lasagna, Amy’s Frozen Burrito, Amy’s Strawberry Toaster Pastries, Boca Burgers, Ground Flaxseed, + Ground Espresso.

Once again, this part of my freezer speaks to the fact that I’m often tired at night from a busy day but I still want to eat healthy.  I admit that Amy’s meals are a bit pricey but they are wholesome, healthful, and organic so it’s worth the splurge to me.  And it’s still more budget-friendly than picking up take-out on my way home.  Additionally, the frozen fruit and Amazing Grass just illustrate my smoothie addiction.  If I could recommend one health product, it would be Amazing Grass – chock full of everything good for you and pretty darn tasty.

Okay, let’s check out the goods in the fridge.

Let’s see what’s hanging out in the door first.

So, I should probably mention that I live in sin (according to my mother) with my boyfriend so some of these foods are definitely his property.  Like the bottled water.  For some reason, the boy just doesn’t understand the need to use a re-usable bottle and the PUR water filter!  But I digress.

Okay, in the fridge door, you can see Leftover Black Beans, Hummus, Cilantro, Jams, Jellies, Salad Dressings, Condiments, Jalapenos, Banana Peppers, Cow Milk (For the Boyfriend), Almond Milk (For Me), Cranberry Juice, Champagne, Sauces, Etc.

Well, I admit that the fridge door is a bit of a hodge-podge so I’ll just speak to the items I use on a regular basis.  I am a hummus and bean addict.  I try to eat very little red meat so hummus and beans are great protein sources for me.  The various condiments, sauces, and peppers show how much I like to spice up my food without adding unnecessary fat and calories.  I should clarify that I’m not on a diet or trying to lose weight but I am a mindful eater.  I like flavorful food but I don’t like flavorful food that will weigh me down.  And let’s talk about the champagne.  It’s been in there for a while.  We’re trying to sell our condo so we have those chilling for the day it happens!

Finally, the grand finale, the main part of my fridge!

Across the top, we have PUR Water Filter, Chicken Sausage, Tofu, + Apples.  Second shelf, we see Baby Spinach, Whole Wheat Ravioli, Organic Eggs, + Produce Bin (Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Onion, Asparagus, Baby Carrots). Third shelf, we have my main vice in life, Diet Coke + Sprite Zero, and Boyfriend’s Drawer of Cheese + Deli Meats. There are some Flat Out Wraps under that bin and then drawers full of the boy’s bottled water.  Wasteful little bugger.  J

I think the main part of my fridge reflects what my freezer did.  I like to eat healthy and I have found it easier to eat healthful when I have easy food sources within reach.  For example, that chicken sausage is organic and pre-cooked, making it fast and easy.  The tofu is pre-pressed and cubed, so I just have to drain it.  I wash my produce the day I grocery shop so I can grab and go.  Eating healthy on the run is possible with pre-planning!

Well, Green Dog Wine Readers, thanks for stopping by my fridge!  Feel free to stop by my blog or direct any questions to me via email – angieatl@gmail.com

Thanks for letting me do a guest post, Allison!
