Healthy Recipes Using Pantry Staples

Delicious healthy recipes you can easily make using pantry staples you already have on hand!  Everything from baked oatmeal and casseroles to hearty soups and crockpot meals.

What a crazy world we are living in right now.  I truly hope everyone is hanging in there during this difficult time and my heart is truly with you ALL.  I know the stores are pretty empty right now and it’s been difficult for most of you to find your usual go-to items for the week, so I wanted to create a round-up of ALL my favorite healthy recipes using pantry staples you may already have on hand in your home.  These recipes are quick, simple and most are freezer-friendly so hopefully this can help you plan out your meals for the next few weeks, if needed.  These recipes include items like canned beans, tomatoes and chickpeas, lentils, oats, quinoa, rice and pasta, along with other pantry staples like tuna, nut butters and more.  Mix in fresh or frozen veggies, seasonings/spices and you should find you have everything you need to feed your family delicious meals!
