Frozen veggies (green beans, in particular) and vanilla yogurt are also on my list. <BR/><BR/>I'm intrigued by the minced garlic product that you mentioned because I don't always have fresh garlic on-hand, but so many recipes call for it.

We eat a lot of cheese and it's always nice to have it available. It doesn't get moldy in the freezer, and I can't tell any difference in the quality of cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan that's been frozen (but I wouldn't freeze a block of cheese).page2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11295096403442487787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-63477835359181877012009-01-30T19:51:00.000-09:002009-01-30T19:51:00.000-09:00I too like to shop only once a week if I possibly ...I too like to shop only once a week if I possibly can--early Saturday mornings when the rest of my family is still asleep.

Coconut ice cream, carmelized banana, coconut milk and chocolate sauce.

Yay!<BR/><BR/>One thought I would add about the bouillon: I've been cooking for 35+ years, but what I didn't know until recently is that bouillon is WAY SALTIER than broth! I found myself without any broth one day when making soup, and used bouillon cubes instead...this resulted in a very salty lentil soup.

The brand is Dorot, and they come from Israel. Here is a link: http://www.dorot.co.il/Eng/Index.asp?CategoryID=27<BR/><BR/>I buy them at Trader Joe's, and they're also available at Whole Foods. They are in little cubes and each cube equals a teaspoon. Just pop out a cube when you want it. I have chopped basil and chopped garlic at the moment, but there is ginger and others as well.<BR/><BR/>I also keep Kirkland's brand four cheese frozen ravioli from Costco on hand. They boil in 5 minutes and are simply the best.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614890555110819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-89409653519465235762009-01-29T13:42:00.000-09:002009-01-29T13:42:00.000-09:00Ah, you actually read my posts!
