5 sauces I wouldn’t cook without

This marinade has made cooking meats in large quantities so much easier! It is filled with flavor and also has delicious sesame seeds in it which adds the perfect crisp if you choose to fry or cook your meat on a high heat with this marinade. I prefer to marinate my fish in this sauce as it soaks up every inch of it and is bursting with flavor in each and every bite.

I swear I go to the market once a week for more sweet chili sauce. Now I'm not sure if it’s my constant fear that it’ll be discontinued that makes me leave Trader Joes with five bottles, but either way it’s a necessary purchase. I love topping salads and cooked veggies with this sauce as it adds the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor without being too overwhelming.

If you like a little bit of spice or don’t have any type of shawarma near you, you have to get this marinade. Anytime I want to transform a dish into something flavorful and unique I add this marinade and it works wonders! I usually opt to use it with chicken but it’s delicious with anything.

I love a good Greek meal and Tzatziki is obviously the secret ingredient to any great mediterranean dish. Whether it’s chicken, french fries, or even straight dipping veggies, Tzatziki gives every dish the perfect amount of moisture and flavor it needs. My favorite thing to do with Tzatziki is make fish kebabs along with some garlic parmesan fries and of course more Tzatziki on the side for dipping.

If you are sensitive to salt and are sick of soy sauce, try coconut aminos. They give your dish the perfect amount of flavor you are looking for without that residual salty taste. I can’t tell you the last time I used soy sauce after discovering this product.
