Top 5 must have ingredients in your pantry

Cooking and meal planning is much easier when you're organized. These are my top 5 non negotiables that are always on my shopping list and always come in handy when I want to spice up my recipes

1- Olive oil

Perfect to shallow fry, garnish and crisp up your dishes.  Much healthier and nutritious alternative to other oils and enhances the flavors of your favorite dishes.

2- Pasta 

One of the most versatile ingredients and goes well with many sauces and comes in many styles to fit your taste. Great for last minute dinner ideas and paired greatly with tomato paste or alfredo sauce.  

3- Spices

The quickest way to add a burst of flavor to your savory dishes. My favorites being garlic, smoked paprika and the classic salt and pepper. Perfect for a traditional twist or just to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes.

4- Condiments and sauces 

Great way to add a dash of flavour to your meals. My favourites are bbq sauce, soy sauce and mayo, they add the best kick to my dishes every time!

5-  Vegetables

Vegetables are a great choice to add to your savoury meals. They come in many variety, are very nutritious and add a pop of flavour and colour. They can compliment many ingredients and meats well and can be cooked in a million different ways.
