1. Flavor Rack (flavor profile enhancers on hand) Goya Adobo – should be a staple in every household. It’s like a best-kept secret by the Hispanic community.

McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning – an incredible seasoning for meats but also as a flavor enhancer for vegetables, produce and try it on your next salad. Old Bay – it will enhance the flavor of any fish dish.
2. Cream Sherry – creates the perfect flavor profile for any cream-based sauce or even soups.
3. Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice – anytime your meal calls for rice as a component – don’t stress – simply tear the bag and microwave for 90 seconds. How easy is that? You can’t screw it up if you tried. Available in many different flavors.
4. The Right Tools – Set up the right tools before you begin – this will make the job easier – and keep your spouse happy because you’re not running around opening cabinets and slamming drawers. Spatulas Tongs Wooden spoons Scissors – kitchen shears Sharp knife Cutting board.
