20 Food Tips For The Single Man
The one problem that most single men have is, they never have a well
stocked pantry. This can cause major problems. If you don't have a
stocked pantry, you are more likely to fill up on snack food or even
worse, fast food. You need to make sure that you have a well stocked
pantry so that you can cook healthy meals without much effort.
Don't know what kinds of things that you should always have on hand?
Well, no need to worry about it anymore. We will give you a list of 20
items that are must haves for you pantry.
1. Water, this might sound silly, but always have some cold water on
hand. Get yourself a pitcher or something that you can keep water in
the ice box.
2. Milk. You should always have some low fat milk on hand. Cereal in the morning is a great way to get a good easy meal.
3. Fruit. Always have some fruit on hand. It is great for snacking. You can eat fruit and instead of potato chips.
4. Carrots. These are great for snacking. Just add some low fat dip and you have a snack that will rival any deep fried snacks.
5. Peanut butter. This is a great way to get some protein without
having to worry about the fat. Use it on your toast for breakfast
instead of butter.
6. Eggs. You need these for baking and other specialties. Also they are great for a protein filled breakfast.
7. Yogurt. This is great for hot summer days. You can make tons of
drinks out of this. Also, it is great with chicken. You should learn a
bit about Indian cooking for more ways to use yogurt. Indians love
yogurt and eat it often.
8. Butter. You shouldn't suck on butter like you do a lollipop. But,
butter is a must for baked goods. Also, fried eggs taste great cooked
in butter.
9. Lemons. These are a must if you eat a lot of seafood. Also, a cold glass of lemonade is great after a hard days work.
10. Mayo. Don't use this stuff every day. But, you do need to use some
if you make tuna or chicken salad. It can also be great on low fat cuts
of chicken and such. It is good on items that are dry. Make sure to buy
the low fat kind and to use as little as possible.
========SIDEBAR========
When it comes to the subject of self improvement, I fully understand
(through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier said than done.
However, you are here, right now, because you have a desire to improve
your self or you are at least interested in this subject. Perhaps you
are reading this to help a friend or colleague - great. If this article
helps you or you help a friend, paying it forward is what lif'e all
about so we all win.
======END SIDEBAR======
11. Mustard. I like to use this instead of mayo on sandwiches. It is a great way to knock out the fat.
12. Cheese. This is a must have. Don't eat too much of it. But, cheese
is the beauty of life. It can make a dull dish come alive.
13. Drinks. Always have some drinks on hand. Have some fruit juice,
beer and sodas in the ice box. Don't go over board with them, but have
a beer from time to time as a treat.
14. Fresh ginger. This will keep for a long time in your ice box. Don't
cover it or anything like that. Keep it whole in your ice box for best
keeping.
15. Bread. You should always have some bread on hand. Don't go hog wild
here on the carbs. A good sandwich is great from time to time. I would
suggest that you find a local bakery and buy your bread there. Don't
buy that awful white stuff that has been sitting on the shelf for who
knows how long.
16. Canned veggies and fruits. When in a pinch, canned is better than
none at all. Even though I suggest that you always eat fresh fruits and
veggies, you should have some canned ones on hand. How do you know when
you will have a craving for corn and not have any fresh on hand? Canned
food can last a very long time, so you don't have to eat it right away.
17. Pasta. Want a meal in a minute? Pasta is the way to go. It cooks quickly and easily.
18. Rice. Same as pasta.
19. Spices and herbs. Always keep some of these on hand. Go to a place
where you can buy them in bulk. Don't buy those little containers in
the store. Not only are they too expensive, but you don't know how long
they have been sitting there. When you buy from a place that sells
bulk, you know that you will be getting fresh items.
20. Cereal. Great for that last minute breakfast. Have some of this on
hand so you don't have to wait in line at the fast food joint to get
your heart attack on a muffin.
