There are a few foods that I try to keep on hand at all times. These are what I call my go-to foods. You know, convenient foods that can be turned into a tasty meal with almost no effort.

Pasta is on my list…I can whip up spaghetti and meatballs anytime and my guys will be happy.

Canned salmon is another item that I always have handy. It’s inexpensive and salmon patties are super quick, tasty and easy to make.

Eckrich Smoked Sausage is also on my list of go-to foods to keep on hand. I love the fact that it has a long shelf life so that when a sale happens, I can load up and have plenty for meals over a long period of time. It’s also incredibly versatile…I can’t even count how many different ways I use it for a tasty meal. Everything from jambalaya to sausage and peppers, casseroles, red beans and rice, quiches…the list just goes on and on.

Plus, I can create easy meals with just what I have on hand. I just rummage through my fridge and pantry and in no time, I have the makings of a tasty meal.

Of course the main reason that I love it is because it tastes amazing. No matter how I prepare it, I know my guys will be happy with the meal that I put on the table.

Notes
If you can’t find desiccated coconut or don’t want to grab a whole coconut and make your own…look for fresh coconut in the frozen aisle at your local Publix. Do [b]NOT[/b] use the super sweet coconut located in the baking aisle! To toast coconut, just place in a pan over low heat and cook, stirring often, until golden.
