Make Recipes with Pantry Ingredients
Pantry staple recipes really come in handy during weeks on a tight budget, or in an emergency when you can’t get to the grocery store (or don’t have much in the store).
Plus, it’s the best way to make sure you’re buying all your groceries, rather than just getting more than you need and letting things expire. Not sure about your situation, but I hate wasting food and it happens more than I admit.
It also gives you the opportunity to get creative with your meal planning!
Tips for pantry staple recipes:
You might associate “pantry staples” with boxed and canned foods, which sound “unhealthy.” this is not the truth! You can still make nutritious meals Use packaged and canned items. Here are some tips:
- You can start stocking up on whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat flour to boost the vitamins and minerals you get from these ingredients.
- If you don’t have the money or access to fresh vegetables, you can use plenty of frozen or canned vegetables. Frozen vegetables have the same nutritional profile as fresh vegetables because most vegetables are frozen at their peak freshness.
- Add fresh vegetables or fruit whenever possible. For example, use canned beans or corn on the side of an entree, or add them to a casserole or pasta dish.
You can buy pantry essentials at any grocery store Even bulk stores like Costco. Make sure you buy for the size of your home. That means buying bulk pasta, beans or rice may help.
now if you are interested long term food storage, I would focus on the following brands: Thrive Life, Augason Farms, Wise Company and Legacy Food Storage.
Make a pantry staple recipe:
always use what’s on hand
- Include leftovers (chopped vegetables, etc.).
- Use items that will expire or go bad first (raw meat, eggs).
Look at the refrigerator
- Watch out for perishable items such as meat, cheese, fresh fruit and vegetables.
then the storage room
- Think dry food, which you can pair with perishable foods like pasta, rice, bread, or other grains.
then refrigerator
Make it easy, but make it fun and delicious with your spice!
- Jalapenos or paprika are great for seasoning
- Chopped garlic or dried onions create a classic flavor
- Don’t underestimate the power of delicious sauces like chipotle or marinara!

I always like to have some baking ingredients in the pantry. Most of them have a pretty long shelf life – we usually use them up before they go bad. Here is the list I usually have on hand:
- flour(1 year at room temperature)
- yeast (Exceeds the shelf life of 2-4 months when unopened, 4-6 months in the refrigerator after opening)
- baking soda (2 years unopened, 6 months unopened)
- baking powder (9-12 months)
- vanilla extract (5 years)
- Cream of tartar (6 months)
- sugar (2 years, but technically forever)
- powdered sugar (2 years, but technically forever)
- brown sugar (2 years)
- cocoa powder (2-3 years)
- Chocolate Chip (2 years)
- pancake mix (Opened for 1 year)
- Honey (2 years)
- maple syrup or agave syrup (2 years
- olive oil (2 years)
- Vegetable oil (6 months)
With the exception of some eggs, milk, and butter, each of these recipes uses almost exclusively the baking ingredients on this list.
