Stocks and broths have long been used by chefs and home cooks alike in dishes ranging from soups to gravies. While there are slight differences between the two—for example, broth is typically made with bones while stock is made using meat—the liquids have much in common. Broths and stocks are great for braising meats or adding moisture to pasta dishes. Both contain flavorful aromatics like vegetables and herbs, as well as seasonings like salt and black pepper, meaning they can infuse a little extra flavor into your dishes as well.

I’m always on the hunt for excuses to shop at Target more frequently, and the retail chain’s Good & Gather brand of grocery items is high on my list of reasons to grab a red shopping cart and go. In fact, I’ve yet to try a Good & Gather product I don’t like, from frozen cubes of minced garlic to flavorful jarred salsas I use for everything from taco night to midday snacking. Another Target freezer aisle item I always grab? Good & Gather Frozen Sautéed Chopped Onions.

Like most food writers, I get really excited about discovering new food products that my family loves. And when those tasty treats also work in a variety of recipes in my kitchen, I consider that to be a major win. So when I started seeing all of the things people were using Great Value freeze-dried strawberry fruit crisps for on social media, I knew I had to pick up a bag on my next shopping trip to Walmart.
