"I always keep phyllo dough in the freezer because you can wrap it around anything," Rach says.
Pita Chips

If you have some pita bread on hand, whether it's fresh or fresh outta the freezer, you can always cut those up, flavor 'em with parmesan cheese, maybe some spices and a drizzle of EVOO, bake 'em off till crisp and you've got some fancy pita chips right there!

Jake says if you've got some olives in your pantry, just jazz 'em up and they'll look like the fancy marinated ones from the market.

"You can't really overseason this either," Jake says.
"No, plus its an olive, it's already salt and fat, those are the world's two perfect ingredients!" Rach says.
