How are you doing today? I hope you and your family are safe and well!

The world seems pretty scary and overwhelming at the moment. It feels like all of a sudden the world went upside down. But in difficult times like this, we should be able to help each other, because we’re in this together. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you my favorite healthy recipes made with pantry staples. These recipes are great to make while we’re all self-quarantining and doing social distancing right now.

These pantry recipes use very simple ingredients like canned beans, tomato sauce, canned tuna, pasta, quinoa, and rice. The best part of these healthy pantry recipes is that you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand.

Before I go, I also want to ask you to stock up only what is necessary for you and your family for two weeks. We need to be kind and think about our neighbors too. Remember, we are all in this together 😉
