Easy Cooking
When Staying at Home
It’s happening. You are running
out of ideas to make for supper?
Sometimes it can seem like there’s
“nothing” to eat. It’s happened to all
of us. You return home famished after
a hard day at work to whiny children
or you have been confined to your
house for thirty plus days due to the
corona social distancing order. You
scurry into the kitchen to grab a bite
to eat and upon glancing in the fridge,
nothing easy jumps out at you and you
realize there’s nothing to eat. Well,
maybe not nothing. We exaggerate, of
course, when we say there’s nothing to
eat. You have food in the fridge, but
nothing jumps out at you and says, “Eat
me.” When we say there’s “nothing
to eat”, what we mean is…THERE’S
NOTHING EASY TO MAKE.
If you’re avoiding going grocery
shopping, or your stores are running
low on supplies during the COVID-19
pandemic, and before you get hangry,
here are a few flexible meal ideas you
can achieve with many ingredients
you may already have in your pantry-
just remember to wash your hands!
