My Seasoning Staples and a Little Extra

Whats in my pantry??? Well I love garlic, so I just buy a huge jar of minced and keep it in the fridge, I've actually cut out salt so I have a grinder of Pink Himalayan Sea Salt, IT'S PINK DUH. I get creative with some things too, for my Lemon Chicken I always have Lemon Zinger tea on hand so I put 4 tea bags in the crock pot.

   

I use my rice cooker to cook my Quinoa, I don't thaw my chicken before I put it in the crock pot, cus I'm as rebel, lol, frozen veggies I really like to have on hand, only because I have an extra freezer to keep it in. My husband goes Tuna fishing once a year so I also have a ton of fresh tuna on hand, buy your meats on sale when you can.

I buy and freeze sticks of unsalted butter when it's on sale, real butter, well it's real, I'm no Paula D, lol, it's all in moderation.

It's so easy to make any sauce once you get the basics down. Google or use Pinterest to find yummy healthy Quinoa recipes, I'm glad I did, now I just create what I want from it.

Here is a simply yummy sauce I learned from my Grandma Faye, Mustard Butter Sauce, I added my own flair of course, but hey she gave me the base to start with. It goes great over veggies, and Chicken Fajitas.

Mustard Butter Sauce 

2 tbsp Real Butter unsalted 

1/4 cup any Mustard, yellow is yummy, but I like the spicy kind

1 tsp minced garlic

Place it in a microwave safe bowl, cover and put in the microwave until butter melts, whisk together and pour over your veggies
