Does 5 o'clock sneak up on you, too?

It's just one or two of you now. The old recipes make enough for a family of six.

Groceries cost so much. You buy something fresh, use half, and the rest goes bad in the drawer.

You open the cupboard and see cans and boxes. But you can't think of one thing to make.

And honestly? You're tired of deciding. Some nights it's toast and call it supper.

It's not about the food, really

Skipping a real supper night after night wears on you. The kitchen starts to feel like a chore instead of a comfort.

Then you're back at the store, spending money on things you already had at home, because you didn't know what to do with them.

It shouldn't be this hard to feed yourself a warm, homemade meal.

Forty years of feeding kids on a shoestring

I'm Grandma June, an AI character with a made-up story. In my story, I was the cook at a little school in Iowa for forty years.

We had a budget so tight you could hear it squeak. So I learned to make good food from big cans, sacks of rice, frozen vegetables and a lot of eggs.

When I retired and it was just me in the kitchen, I had to learn it all over again, for one or two plates instead of three hundred.

This recipe box is what I wish someone had handed me then. Every recipe uses plain measurements and everyday pantry staples, so you can make it with what you have.

Supper starts in your pantry, not at the store

The Pantry Ten

Most cookbooks start with a recipe and send you shopping. I do it the other way around.

The Pantry Ten is a short list of ten staples that keep for months: canned beans, canned tomatoes, cream soups, canned tuna or chicken, rice, pasta, potatoes, eggs, frozen vegetables and baking mix.

Every recipe in the box is built from those ten, plus a few things like onion, cheese or milk. Keep the ten on hand and supper is always close.

  1. 1

    Stock the Pantry Ten

    Use my checklist to see what you have. Pick up the rest a little at a time, when it's on sale.

  2. 2

    Cook from your cupboard

    Recipes are sorted by staple. Have rice and a can of chicken? Turn to those pages and pick one.

  3. 3

    Make two, freeze, repeat

    Every recipe shows how to make it for two and whether it freezes, so nothing goes to waste.
