Ingredients In Your Grocery Store

Turbinado Sugar: Use this coarse sugar on pastries and baked goods to make them sparkle.
Sriracha Hot Sauce: Tangy red chili sauce adds spice to stir fries, brothy soups, and mayonnaise.
Pomegranate Juice: Spike a cocktail with it, or reduce the juice with some sugar for a sweet tart glaze for chicken or pork.
Capers: Salty savory flavor you can add to chicken sautés, pastas, or tuna salads.
Anise Seeds: Sweet licorice flavor you can add to pork and chicken or baked with shortbreads, biscotti, and fruitcakes.
Quinoa: Simmer in water and this super-grain cooks up fluffy with slightly nutty flavor. Quinoa is a great source of vegetarian protein. Try it in place of rice or couscous.
Broccolini: A hybrid of broccoli. The stalk does not require cutting or peeling and the entire stem is edible.
Flavored Water: Spike with sliced lemons, ginger, and cucumbers. Try it with seltzer and pure fruit juice for a naturally sweet soda.
