The Pantry: Teaspoon Willie's
With so many products---everything from caffeinated beef jerky to bottles of cognac---coming across my desk, I see and taste a little bit of everything. But it's unusual that I discover something I enjoy enough to A) write about and B) purchase for my own kitchen.
That said, a sample of Teaspoon Willie's showed up recently, and ever since I've found myself steadily making my way through the bottle. Appropriately named Everything Sauce, I've found that the tomato-y blend peps up scrambled eggs, turkey sandwiches, barbecue chicken, tacos, sloppy Joes, and even salad dressing.
As far as I can tell, the savory applications are limitless, and each time I taste the slightly fiery, umami-rich sauce, I attempt to unlock the flavor profile (Denver-based owner Willie Ingram keeps the recipe a closely guarded secret). Best of all, the product is gluten-free, fat-free, and devoid of creepy things like MSG, high-fructose corn syrup, and preservatives.
Mark Your Calendar: The first-annual Teaspoon Willie's Cook Off takes place August 28 (6 to 10 p.m.) at the Art Network Gallery. Tickets are $20 and proceeds benefit SAME Café.
Available at Whole Foods Market.

I got my first exposure to Teaspoon Willie's Everything Sauce while in Denver 14 months ago. I am on my 5th case of the sauce!!! My friends and family in St. Louis love it and keep forcing me to by more since they can't purchase it in St. Louis.

I always enjoy going to the mountains and stay there in a cabin for a week to have some time for myself to run away from everything. It always calms me and it's the only situations when I get the chance to think about life in general and its value .
