Grocery Items That Can Be Used in Multiple Ways!


Post by Sharon

There are some items that should be in your cart each week to utilize in so many ways. You will never have leftovers of these key ingredients - 

French Bread


French bread lends itself to more uses and strength to handle all kinds of ways of preparing compared to regular bread as you can slice as thick or thin as you wish. And it's cheap to buy a loaf - none of it will be leftover.

Croutons

French-bread pizza
Sub sandwich
Bruschetta
Open-faced sandwiches
Dippers for hot cheese dip
Avocado toast
French toast
Meatball sub
Garlic bread

Eggs





Eggs make good sense - lots of protein and fast to prepare. Get an 18-carton instead of 12. You WILL use them all.

omelets 
deviled eggs

Italian hot sausage




Why hot sausage? Because the flavor is so powerful you can utilize it in a LOT of ways. The flavor is strong and so you can utilize it like the "parmesan" of the meat realm - can flavor so many things by crumbling and cooking.
