Eggs: an omelette or egg scramble is easy and a great way to use up a ton of veggies- check out my recent omelette. It included cabbage, zuchinni, squash, shallots, and tomato. A fine combination but made extraordinary by the addition if the next ingredient.
Goat cheese: this is so good on anything with eggs or quinoa. In fact, the Eason I tried it was because my CSA recommended a recipe for goat cheese and beet salad. It was awesome.
Real bacon bits: if you are like me, if you have bacon in the house you will eat it. This is a great way to be able to add bacon to recipe without being tempted to make a whole bunch and eat it. Make sure you get the kind that's made of real bacon. You can even heated up just a bit and it taste like fresh made bacon. If you're really creative, you can make your own- I just don't know how.
Red Pepper Flakes: after the first few weeks of the CSA, I realized I was getting really bored with vegetables. I got a recipe that required crushed red pepper flakes and added it to the greens. My mind was blown- the food tasted great and you couldn't even taste the crushed red pepper, it just tasted flavorful. I find that it's a milder taste when it's heated up and used when cooking rather than adding it at the end. However anyone who has had pizza and added the flakes to the pizza knows that can also be great.
Lemon pepper seasoning: I always thought that lemon pepper had to be used as a dry rub for a barbecue. Turns out it's awesome with greens, in omelets, and in almost any soup. It's just an all-around great seasoning.
Soy sauce & teriyaki: while these two things aren't at all the same thing, they're both key ingredients in a stirfry. A weekly staple in my house is to make stirfry with the leftover vegetables.
Rice: and since I make so much stirfry, it's really important to always have rice on hand. I strongly recommend that you buy a rice cooker because the rice comes out perfect every time.
Well, that's my list for now. I'm sure I'll have more later.
