10 Pantry Meals To Make Now

Are you trying to figure out what to cook these days? We all need recipes that are simple, delicious, healthy, and made with accessible ingredients. Well, here you go… scroll down for 10 pantry meals to make now.

I’ve always been pretty good at opening my pantry and coming up with something to cook for dinner with whatever’s in there. And, now, in these unprecedented times, this skill has become invaluable. When you scroll down and look through these 10 pantry meals to make now, please remember that it’s only food. It is not rocket science. You can change and substitute the ingredients for something similar in your pantry.

So, what constitutes a pantry meal? Well, for me, a pantry meal is one that can be made from the dry goods that are in most people’s pantries. Pasta, beans, grains, etc. are classic pantry meals. Also, I consider my freezer an extension of my pantry because I always have chicken and ground meat in there.

Feel free to reach out to me in the comments below if you have a substitution question, or any other question for that matter.

Also, at the bottom of this post is a link to my free ebook all about how to reduce your stress with foods.
