These days, Underwood, 30, stocks her pantry and fridge with fresh veggies, tofu, and soy cheese and hones her cooking skills by making meals with her pro hockey player husband, Mike Fisher. (The Nashville Predators center does, however, add meat to his dishes.) Here’s a peek at the flavorful stuff Ms. Underwood simply can’t live without. – Read more at Yahoo.com
