Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I made this last night to go with brown rice pasta and chicken. I used garden fresh tomatoes and basil, fresh cream, but not fresh garlic (jarred/pre-chopped kind). It was simple to make. The taste was very earthy. I think one thing I'd make sure to do is barely puree the tomatoes with some of the basil and then add the rest of the basil at the end of cooking time. While my basil was super fresh, it was hard to taste its flavor in the sauce. After adding salt and pepper (not too much) and a pinch of cane sugar, I still felt like the sauce was "missing something." However, if you like simple ingredient taste, this is a decent starter recipe.
