Have you been yearning to try a delicious new recipe at home, and when you finally do – after you put all that time and effort into trying to make that dish perfect – the finished product lacks pizzazz? Is it like all of the flavors are flat? That is what can happen when you don’t cook with fresh ingredients.

Cooking at home is so much better with great ingredients. The difference between fresh ingredients and canned, frozen or processed foods is enormous! Here’s a great test…simply smell a bunch of fresh parsley or basil. They are both bursting with a pungent aroma that you can almost taste. You sure don’t get that when you open a jar of processed, dry herbs. And when you add fresh vegetables to a recipe, the flavor just pops!

Wondering where to get great ingredients for your next meal?
