Cooking with what you've got is about pantry staples. I designed this plan when COVID first hit and people were preparing for lockdown. I saw a man fill his cart with noodles and spaghetti sauce and thought, “Oh boy, that guy is going to be really sick of spaghetti!” Then I talked to another friend who said that she bought rice and beans because she didn’t know what else to do, but was not excited about them and not sure how to turn them into something that she would actually like!

Realizing that our supply chains are uncertain, and we are still experiencing some food shortages in stores, but local and fresh veggies are available, I worked with fresh veggies that will last a long time in your fridge and added options for frozen items that you can buy that will last. Combine them with those staples that you already have on hand. I will teach you many ways to make one recipe and how to be flexible and pivot with your meal making!
