Vegetable Essentials

When it comes to cooking, there are a few produce items that get used the most and are nice to have on hand.  I keep an eye on sales at the store or go to the local farmers markets and pick the following items up whenever I can get them for a good price.  If for whatever reason, you don't use them in a recipe/meal, they can all be added to a salad or Sauté together and thrown on top of pasta or chicken/beef/pork for a quick last minute meal option.  This way you won't have any produce going bad in your fridge!
  • Tomatoes (any assortment)
  • Carrots
  • Onions (white or yellow)
  • Bell Peppers (always have red & green, orange and yellow are great on salads!)
  • Garlic Cloves
