Here is my shopping tip: if you are planning to make recipes that require unusual ingredients (or just things you don't have), plan only one meal a week like that. And always keep the staples on hand (ex: garlic powder, onion salt, salt and pepper, oregano, thyme, rosemary, etc.). Most recipes that call for fresh herbs, you can substitute dried. The ratio is about 1tsp of dried herb to 1 tbsp of fresh.The Adapting Athenianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16953150431525278488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561920409898915050.post-3804579956394364582011-02-04T06:41:49.498-08:002011-02-04T06:41:49.498-08:00That looks awesome.

I never realized how expensive some items were till I went to make the (failed) steak thing that I called you about last week. The meat itself was $15 plus the million herbs I did not own!<br /><br />http://melissa-thatgirl.blogspot.com/Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862252073512490221noreply@blogger.com
