2. Balsamic vinegar - great for a fat-free salad dressing with a touch of olive oil, splash on steamed veggies, soups, add to pasta sauces
3. Fresh basil (freeze in ziploc bags to make it last) - sprinkle on salads, pizzas, pasta, pesto
4. Frozen onions and green peppers - use to jazz up spaghetti sauce, chili, fajitas, casseroles, omelets
5. Garbanzo beans - put on salads, puree to make creamy soups
6. Canned mushrooms and canned tomatoes - pasta sauces, pizza, casseroles
7. Teriyaki sauce - season stir fry's, use as marinade, splash on steamed veggies
8. Sun dried tomatoes - use on pizza, pasta sauces, sandwiches
9. Bottled minced garlic and gingerroot - quicker alternative than fresh, still packs in flavor
10. Chopped green chiles - Mexican casseroles, quiches, scrambled eggs, burritos
Your family might have other favorite ingredients. Just remember, if you keep a variety of tasty add-in's on hand, you'll be more likely to eat at home, which means you'll be more likely to eat a more nutritious meal.
