Safe Foods Kit
Fill in your go-to foods. Print it for the fridge.
On the days when food feels like too much, having a short list of your safe foods — the ones that are always fine, that require no decisions — means you'll actually eat something. This page is for building that list and printing it out.
Fill in what actually works for you: the specific brands, where you keep them, how you put them together. Then print it for the fridge, or save it as a PDF.
I keep a pack of Kirkland Extra Lean Ham in the deli drawer (I buy the 2-pack at Costco and freeze one). There's always a loaf of Dave's Killer Bread White Done Right in the freezer — I pull a slice and microwave it for 15 seconds. I fold the ham onto the bread and eat it just like that, plain. No cheese, no condiments, no decisions.
On the side: a Chobani Zero Sugar yogurt with whatever berries I have, or just a mandarin. I keep a bowl of washed cherry tomatoes on the counter and grab a handful whenever. Packaged carrot sticks in the fridge for the same reason — they're just there.
That's it. It takes about 90 seconds and I didn't have to think.
My other go-to: a bowl of leftover rice with a slice of cheese on top — American, or a slice off a cheddar block, whatever's in the fridge. Microwave one minute. Done.
Pick one from each column. Add a note about how you put it together.
