The 10 ingredients I always have in my kitchen, so I can make a nourishing meal even without a trip to the store
Life gets busy. You don’t have time to cook. You don’t have the energy to cook. I get it. But you don’t have to resort to takeout time and time again.
To keep me from constantly using UberEats, I keep these 10 ingredients in my kitchen.
What 10 ingredients?
These 10 ingredients:
Frozen Fruit & Vegetables
Frozen fruit is perfect for smoothies. I also love to put some frozen fruit (cherries are great for this!) in a bowl and let sit out for about 15 minutes; and I eat it for a sweet snack or even after dinner.
Frozen veggies are great for casseroles, soups, frittatas (defrost/saute first), cooked & covered in sauce, in quesadillas.
Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Soup
Good Luck Greens Soup
Chicken Quesadilla (cook the veggies in a skillet and add to the quesadilla)
Beef and Vegetable Soup
Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie
Wild Blueberry Limeade Smoothie
Berry White Tea Smoothie
Mango Green Tea Smoothie
Salsa
Salsa is my all time favorite condiment/sauce/seasoning/etc. I put it over eggs, on tacos, on chicken or tuna, everything!

White Bean and Turkey Chili
Salsa Turkey Lettuce Wraps
