10 Dinners I Make When I'm Too Tired to Cook — Pantry Only

📘 Brenda Cooks: 162 recipes for every kind of week your kitchen goes through https://brendacooks.com/ It's six o'clock, you're wrung out, and the delivery app wants twenty-six dollars for a bag of cold noodles — seven dollars of food and the rest in fees. But you already have dinner. It's sitting in your cupboard right now, and most of these meals take less effort than meeting the driver at the door. Our grandmothers fed tired families from the pantry every night of the week, and never once thought they were being brave. In this one I'll walk you through the 10 dinners I make when I'm too tired to cook — pantry only: 🍝 The garlic-and-oil spaghetti and peanut butter noodles that cost pennies a plate 🥫 The beans on toast, tuna pasta and chickpeas in tomato made from a couple of cans 🍚 The rice-and-beans bowl, egg fried rice and one-pot lentil soup that fill you right up 🐟 Salmon patties, and the one-pot pasta and beans I'd teach my own daughter first …and who profits from you believing tired means helpless. Open the cupboard instead of the app and you'll eat well for under a dollar or two a plate. A little know-how feeds your family well and keeps your money right where it belongs. If saving money and running a smart, thrifty kitchen sound good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 💛 What's the meal you fall back on when you're too worn out to cook?
