Parisians are known for never dieting; they will eat their croissants, cakes, and cheeses and drink their wine. According to the French, who never give up on their native delicatessen, it all about balance. You want to know more, keep on reading.
Parisians will not cook a frozen meal from the grocery store, but rather a simple meal from fresh basic ingredients. Here are 10 things they always have in their kitchens (or pick up on their way home from work).
Eggs
They are not a common choice for breakfast, but rather for lunch or dinner. They can be boiled and used in salads and sandwiches or fried with veggies.
Baguette
A fresh baguette is a must with every meal and they don’t even think about processed or sliced options.
Dijon Mustard
How do you give food flavor without adding too many unnecessary calories? With dijon mustard!

Hello lovies of sandwiches!!!😍😍 And thank you all for the support in my “oven break down situation” & “weather mood situation” hihihi you are my stress relief pillow guys 😉😉, really thank you for all the supportive messages I got through insta stories!!!💗💛👍 . So if you have been following my stories, you know already my oven broke or actually the whole range doesn’t work and that’s what made me very upset this morning. It means no cooking day!!!👍😃 I should be happy right? It’s just I had some nice warm meal in my head to prepare for tonight and it ain’t happening!!😮 I had to figure out what we will have for dinner??Luckily I have my #mom and she suggested me to make a toast😋Yes and even though today is not a toast Tuesday, it will be toast Wednesday 😜💗I do not mind!!🤗 . Deets for my toast/sandwich: multigrain bread (toasted), roasted turkey breasts, arugula, gruyere cheese and one of the ingredients, which I tried for the first time and fall in love with, is #dijonmustard Provence style from @maillecanada if you like little kick of dijon mustard with taste of roasted pepper and garlic in your sandwich, you will love it!! My mom would definitely love it😋 and I will make her one for #mothersday2018 . . Bon appetit my friends!! .

Olive Oil
Use it for cooking or salads however you like.
Cheese
There are fromageries all over Paris and they offer an incredible selection of cheese. No wonder it’s on the menu every day.
Butter
Butter is the key ingredient that’s added to everything, from meat to croissants and desserts.
Wine
They would never refuse a glass of wine, over a meal or while cooking.

Yogurt
Full-fat yogurt is a perfect breakfast choice. It’s creamier than American yogurt and doesn’t get flavored besides the occasional vanilla.
Tea
While they drink their coffee out, at home the choice is usually a tea.
Dessert
Whether in a restaurant or at home, a dessert is the best way to finish a meal.
