Perishable Items To Have In Your Refrigerator

These perishable items in your refrigerator will need to be refreshed based on how often and how much you use them. I always try to have these cooking aids on hand for unexpected occasions and actually buy them on a weekly basis.

A bag of Lemons
Some limes
A bag of Onions
A container of mixed cheeses (for pizzas, pasta dishes etc.)
A bag of grilled chicken breast (strips, diced etc.)
A bag of plain bagels

The lemons and limes are great for dressings, soups, sauces. I use a lemon to squeeze over roasted chicken, in my soups (even in a bowl of ramen noodles). I always use it if I need to temper the saltiness of a dish. The other perishable ingredients are for the kids snacks after school or before practice. I make pizza bagels which are a hit because they're tasty and have a lot of bulk.
