Prompt: Pantry Staple Wish List

[runpunkrun]

I'm just back from the store where, no matter how long I looked at the shelf, it did not have that familiar turquoise box of Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes sitting there. For a year, every time I walked past it, I thought: I'm going to try that one day.

And now they're not selling it anymore. That will absolutely show me.

Is there a food/spice/pantry staple/ingredient/product you're curious about or thinking of trying? Is there a recipe that goes with it? Come on into the comments and share something you're keeping tabs on. Or try it! And report back.

I'll eventually get my hands on some quinoa flakes so I can try some of these 10 Amazing Ways to Use Quinoa Flakes That Will Astound You, but in the meantime, I have some quinoa flour that's been in my to do pile for a while now. I've never used it before, but I think I'm going to toast it and then make these quinoa chocolate chip cookies with it.

As a person with comfortable income, three young adults in the house, and poor resistance to the new and shiny -- I have bought many such things and got them home, only to go 'and now what'? I don't think I've gone past anything that tempting more than three times before buying!

Do you have anything lying around the house right now that you want to try but don't know what to do with?
