I’m often delaying a trip to the grocery store for a few days by using up the food we already have ato make meals for my family. With a little creativity and an effort to use up items from my pantry fridge and freezer, I can still make meals and snacks my family likes, and we aren’t wasting as much food (and money!). If you need some inspiration or ideas, be sure to check out my pantry cooking playlist. I have tons of videos on this concept with lots of ideas for family meals and recipes from stuff hanging around my pantry and fridge.

I started an emergency meals bin years ago. I keep this in my pantry, and it’s filled with non-perishable items we can use to make easy meals in a semi-urgent situation-like a power loss-as long as we have a heat source (like our gas stove or grill). Some of you have mentioned these are also great for traveling or camping, or for sending to a friend or with a college kid with limited kitchen access, etc. It was time to restock it for reasons I mention in this video, so I took you along with me to show you what I stock in my emergency meals bin, and how I store everything. I hope this gives some ideas!
