Can we peak in your pantry?
Which products do you rely on to always have a quick dinner within reach? Me, I love the Mrs. Dash family of spices. I would shake Mrs. Dash on a vanilla wafer and call everyone to the table. Remember this site is written by you! If you would like to submit your "grocery store find" for all to see click here. I will choose approximately 10-20 per week to post.
Chief Mommy Owl - Lemon Pepper Mrs. Dash
I find this to be a very versatile spice. The side of the container suggests that you add some to your egg salad and I did and it was really fantastic. This stuff will also make any fish very elegant - check out my salmon recipe in the easy recipe section. Mix with olive oil and vinegar for a great salad dressing.
Zesty Mustard - Laura W., Florida
I am never without French's Deli mustard in the fridge. Not only is it great on any kind of sandwich, but it is great for cooking. Smear on the top of chicken quarters and bake in a 350 oven. Mix with mayo and spread on chicken for a different taste. Add to vinegar and oil and pour on fresh spinach. The list goes on and on.
Worcestchire Sauce - Lisa H., Nevada
I think people tend to forget about worcestchire sauce or they just use it for steaks, but you can really add it to almost any recipe. For something a little different, try putting some in your vegetable soup.
Sardines - Denise B., New Jersey
I know this sounds crazy, but in my house I can't keep sardines in the pantry. My kids love them on a sandwich. My husband likes them in an omellette with tomatoes. I make them into salads or put them on pizza. The sardine is the greatest.
Editor's Note - Thanks for the tip! Excuse me while I vomit.
Egg Noodles - Darlene H., Rhode Island
Peek into my pantry and you will always find several bags of egg noodles in all different sizes. They turn soups into a one bowl mean. Add a little instant gravy and serve it next to meat loaf. Throw in a bowl with cheddar cheese.
