Bottom of the Barrel!

Well, with all the snow that the DC area has gotten in the past 6 days I have officially been snowed in and I'm running out of food. I'm really glad I stocked up as well as I did but I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel for dinner ideas. I don't know about you but it seems like I get stuck in a food rut sometimes and I always make my same go to things when I'm low on supplies. Tonight's supper is in the oven and if it turns out I'll be posting it for you shortly. It's just a mixture of what I could find in the fridge and pantry.

I'm wondering what things you typically have on hand. Do you find yourself continually making chicken like me? Or maybe its pasta for you. Would you like some new ideas and recipes for the food that you tend to make over and over or for food that you have on hand in the back of the cupboard that you have no idea how to use it up? If so, please tell me what lurks in the back of your pantry or what rut your in and I'll try to kick up some new recipes for you. I'm always up for a cooking challenge and with all this snow I have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.

I look forward to hearing from you and creating new ways to spice up your staples!

  1. We eat a lot of chicken, but lately hamburger has been my staple meal main! I know, your fave! I've been trying to mix things up a bit.

    Staples in my house? Cream of mushroom/chicken/etc...onion soup mix...hamburger, chicken breasts...lots of different pasta, rice, quinoa. Hmmm...there is probably more. Oh, tomato sauce/paste. Got a lot of that!

    Will you move back and be my personal chef? PLEEAAASE!!! :) Love your new look, very cute and SO you!

  2. Amber, I would love to move back and cook for you again!
    I have a lot of those same things in my cupboards too. I will see what my noggin can come up with. And, even though I don't eat red meat, Brian does so I do tend to make recipes with beef every now and again. :-)
    Thanks for listing your staples for me!
