What is your favorite go-to ingredient?

Cheese! I had to think about that, but I find I consider what kind of cheese is in the fridge when I start a meal, or snack for that matter. Sometimes I’ll start a recipe with it, sometimes I finish it with a dash of Parmesan. If you know me, you know I have nachos for dinner more nights than I’d like to admit. I love cheese on toast in the mornings and cheese in my salads. Please never ask me to be vegan.
