The one ingredient that I always have is garlic. I Use garlic in pasta sauces, stews, and soups. Mix with oil and vinegar and Italian spices to make salad dressing. Garlic Powder can be used in marinades, or mixed with herbs and rubbed into poultry, pork, or beef before cooking. What is your favorite kitchen ingredient?

It would be garlic or parsley. I use them both so much. They are both great in pasta sauces, salad dressing mixes or soups. I also use garlic and parsley on meat before cooking, especially pork.

Lemon and pepper is definately a favorite of mines. I have cinnamon, but only use it around the holidays.

Two things that I cannot be without in my kitchen- fresh garlic and soy sauce. I also try to keep pasta and fresh herbs in my cupboards, so many different dishes you can make with those.
