My go-to ingredient is high-quality, unadulterated extra-virgin olive oil.
I roast all my veggies with that and a little salt and pepper; it’s simpler and tastier than any other preparation I’ve tried. It elevates avocado toast and vanilla ice cream to new heights too.

Toasted slivered almonds are a perfect topping for salads, side dishes, and even sweet treats! I live for crunch.

Is olive-oil-and-garlic an ingredient? You could literally sauté a bike tire in this and it will taste good, so I am never without.

My favorite ingredient to keep on hand is the Italian seasoning blend we featured a couple of years ago. I can’t even count how many times I’ve reached for this while cooking!

Spinach.
This veggie is so versatile and easy to add to scrambles, smoothies, stir-fries, soups, and wraps. Plus, it makes for a hearty salad.

A good jarred salsa is my go-to condiment for nacho and taco nights, of course, but it also serves as a tasty salad dressing or as the seasoning for slow-cooker chicken fajitas. Just throw in a whole chicken or a few chicken breasts, top with salsa, and let it cook all day. Yum!
