A staple in my pantry is a bottle of Tabasco sauce, used to spike up meatloaf, casseroles, eggs, soups, and other dishes calling for peppery heat.

They keep for a good amount of time, and can be used on a variety of dishes. And if nothing else, can be made into some Guac! I like to always buy avacados when I can.

Have you ever bought that lemon juice in a bottle from the store?! Ugh! Might as well just use pure citric acid.... I do like her idea of always buying fresh lemons.

My experience is that a dish that was made from fresh produce and then frozen is far better tasting than something bought from the freezer aisle in the grocery store.

Herbs truly are the spice of life, and I like how you highlight them with the picture on your must-buy grocery list. This is a wonderful list!

You have certainly chosen a great time of year to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Farmers markets are just a few weeks away from exploding in stone fruits like cherries :) Thanks for visiting!

I do not think any milk product, dairy or soy, should be consumed in large quantities. But FYI, despite the phytoestrogens in soy, its consumption is linked with decreased breast cancer rather than increased. Caution is always a good idea, but there is not a lot of strong data to suggest soy is actually bad. I have referenced several articles in the comments link above. I agree.
