My favorite recipe ingredient is sweetened condensed milk. I don’t use it often but it’s a treat when I do.

I like onions.

 

So many different kinds; I can choose from yellow, white, red, sweet,  leeks, scallions and chives.

 

Then, I can saute, grate, chop, roast and carmelize.

 

So many options with onions!

I, also love spieces & herbs and use so many of them!

 

Tarragon in red sauce; apple pie spice on chicken and in beef dishes; vanilla and almond extract in baking; turmeric & black pepper on fresh salads; sherry in cooking; lemon zest on steamed broccoli...I could easily go on!

I love putting either artichokes, hot sauce or balsamic vinegar in my recipes.

Love my garlic, basil, rosemary, dill and red onion. Not necessarily all in the same dish but usually use 2 or 3 together.

It's not a favorite yet, but last weekend I discovered a new spice blend called "Everything but the Bagel" from Trader Joe's. It has everything you would expect on the top of an Everything Bagel....sesame seads, poppy seads, sea salt, garlic, onion. It's soooo good & so versatile! I've already put it on meat, eggs & potatoes!

BEEF!  Not a meat and potatoes girl.  Just the meat.  Don't care about the potatoes.  I like other veggies, but not so much potatoes.

 Coconut milk in Indian dishes and cilantro in Mexican dishes.  

 

I'm also a big fan of dark chocolate,
