By Shaun Chavis<\/a> Add this to your grocery list:<\/strong> Fresh herbs. They make dishes taste delicious, and you can buy them cheaply at local markets.<\/p>\n Third shelf: Staples. Veggie broth, beans, chickpeas, cans of tuna (which are great for dinner in a pinch), whole-grain corn meal, and quick polenta.<\/p>\n

For the next few weeks, I thought I'd share what's in my kitchen and what I eat. I'm definitely not a model for anyone to imitate—just because I'm a weight-loss editor doesn't mean I'm immune to junk food cravings. Most days I keep things fairly balanced, but I certainly have room for improvement. I try to cook from scratch most nights, but if I'm at the office until 8 o'clock, I'm likely to succumb to the hot bar at Whole Foods.<\/p>\n shaun-chavis-shelf-pantry-200.jpg<\/span> (which is less than 10 minutes from where I live), a big bar of baking chocolate, some basil I got from my closest farmers' market<\/a>, and a bar of Santander for evening snacking. I break off two squares a night, about 87 calories worth of dessert.<\/strong><\/p>\n
