What Can I Cook With The Ingredients I Have In My Pantry

By Mike Shaw

If you are like most people, you're wondering what can I cook with the ingredients I have. This happens to the best of us. In fact, the busy lifestyles we all lead leave us often not having enough time to do the proper grocery shopping should be doing.

Regardless of the reason, there are certainly things that you can find in your refrigerator that can resolve your problem for the night. For example, many of us keep meat in our freezers. For this example, let's say you have kept some ground meat, it doesn't matter what type.

So, now you have the foundation of the meal. Luckily, ground meat quickly thaws in the microwave. A perfect recipe for a quick meal involving ground meat is meatloaf, because there aren't many other essential ingredients that you would not have in your kitchen at any given time. Now all you need is a side dish. Here you can prepare a salads, and possibly some type of starch, like potatoes.

If for example you will are lacking, the main ingredients for a salads, head towards the pantry for some canned vegetables.

The truth is, we don't allot enough time to do the appropriate shopping and cooking, partly because we don't have the time. Or perhaps we don't want to devote any time to it. However, surely there are items that you have purchased in the past either sitting in your pantry or in your freezer. So for days like these, you should always ensure that you have canned vegetables and beans to provide you with the essential vitamins and great side dishes.

In addition to that, always try to keep some type of frozen meat in your freezer for busy weeks like you may be having right now. It's always best to keep something that can thaw quickly, like pork chops or steak. And there you have it, always prepared to put a meal together in no time.
