Easy Meals I Make at Home in Under 30 Minutes
Last week a reader asked if I would put together another post about meals I make at home in under 30 minutes. So I looked back at when I wrote my last one and it was all the way back in July. Crazy how fast time goes by. So today I’m bringing it back with 12 meals I recently made at home that will hopefully give you some inspiration for easy meals for yourself and your family. Remember, this meals aren’t pretty, whatsoever. And some aren’t strict paleo. If you’re new here, I don’t eat strict paleo. I eat white rice and some gluten free items. If you don’t want that in your own diet, don’t eat it. Simple as that. And if you need even more inspiration, you can look back at my previous easy meals posts here, here and here!
Just a recap (I shared this in my previous posts) – with a little planning, multitasking and with the help of some special ingredients, there’s really NO EXCUSE to not eat a healthy meal on the table in no time flat. It’s really freaking easy, I promise you that. Stop making excuses for why you can’t get a healthy meal on the table certain nights. It just means you need to plan ahead. Maybe you even need to write out your meals to make sure nothing goes to waste and you’re sticking with your goals.
You’ll see many repeats in my own diet because I stick with foods that make me feel my best and that cook up quickly. Plus, I use whatever ingredients I have on hand in my freezer. So let’s get to it. Here’s a little breakdown of what I always have at home and/or purchase week to week:
ButcherBox – Every month I get my monthly supply of grass-fed, grass-finished, antibiotic and hormone-free, pasture-raised beef, chicken and pork. This way I always have meat on hand that I can pull out of the freezer the day beforehand to make for meals the next day. And since it’s delivered to my doorstep, I don’t have to think about it, which is the best part. In every box, I always get burgers and breakfast sausage, then whatever other meat is available that month!
Thrive Market – I try to get a Thrive Market box delivered to my doorstep every month or so. I love stocking up on coconut wraps, coconut aminos, Siete Foods sea salt grain free tortilla chips, and organic extra virgin olive oil. Be sure to follow me on instagram and my instagram stories/highlights because every time I get an order, I share those finds and goodies on my social media! Thrive also offer seafood now and it’s delicious so I will sometimes grab that from them.
Whole Foods or Natural Grocers or Trader Joe’s –
Freezer section – I always like to purchase cauliflower rice, sliced bell peppers, asparagus, cauliflower and kale so if I’m in a pinch and have no fresh produce around, I can quickly defrost any of these vegetable and whip up a meal quickly. I also recently picked up Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi and love having that on hand.
Produce section – I almost always purchase arugula, kale, carrots, cherry tomatoes, ripe plantains, yukon gold potatoes, sweet baby peppers, butter lettuce, honey crisp apples, cilantro, green onions and whatever other vegetable looks good.
Pre-cut veggies – At Whole Foods (and many other grocery stores nowadays), they have pre-cut vegetables that have made a huge difference when it comes to how long it takes to make a meal. It costs a little more, but to me it’s worth it because it keeps me eating healthy. I’ll always buy pre-cut butternut squash fries, brussels sprouts, kale, beets (I buy the Love Beets brand), zucchini noodles, beet noodles, and carrot fries.
Butcher section – Since I get all my meat from ButcherBox, I usually only purchase wild-caught fish and seafood at Whole Foods. We try to eat salmon, scallops, sea bass and whatever other fish looks good. And we’ve been eating more fish and seafood recently because my husband is on a strict diet where he can’t have chicken or pork, which is why most of my dinners are beef or fish/seafood. I love getting fish/seafood for the nights that we have limited time since it cooks up so quickly.
Pantry Products – I keep these items on hand because they make prep incredibly easy and quick whenever I’m in a pinch!
Primal Palate Spices
Primal Kitchen Ranch, Ketchup and Mayo
Balanced Bites Spices
Sir Kensington Ranch, Mayo, Ketchup & Mustard
Mike’s Organic Curry Paste
Rao’s Marinara Sauce
Tolerant Foods Gluten Free Pasta
Latest Freezer Favorites –
Birch Benders Paleo Waffles
Brazi Bites
Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi
Cauliflower Rice
Bonafide Bone Broth Soup
Now on to the meals we go!
For this breakfast, I preheated to oven to 400 degrees to cook up a Birch Benders Paleo Waffle for 10 minutes. While the oven heated up, I cooked ButcherBox breakfast sausage with diced red bell peppers and oinons, then I added in leftover air fryer potatoes. Then I topped the waffle with peanut butter and maple syrup. This meal took about 20 minutes.
This dinner took about 30 minutes. First I preheated the oven to 400 degrees, tossed zig-zag butternut squash in avocado oil, topped with salt and garlic powder, then roasted them for 25-30 minutes. Then I cooked up ButcherBox burgers in a cast iron skillet topped with Primal Palate Steak Seasonings and topped it off with Primal Kitchen Ketchup and Mustard. And to finish the meal, I made an easy salad of arugula, apples, orange bell pepper, Primal Kitchen Ranch, plus salt and pepper.
This hearty soup dinner took about 30 minutes. First I preheated the oven to 400 degrees, sliced carrots and tossed them in avocado oil and salt, then roasted them for 25-30 minutes. While the carrots cooked, I cooked chopped bacon in a large pot, set it aside, then sauteed red bell peppers and onions in the rendered fat. Then I added ButcherBox ground beef and once it was broken down and cooked through, I added the Bonafide Broccoli Cheddar Bone Broth Soup along with salt, garlic powder and pepper. When the oven has 10 minutes left, I added Brazi Bites to the baking sheet with carrots. To finish the soup, I added the carrots and Brazi Bites!
When I didn’t know what to make one night, I started with air fryer potatoes which take about 25 minutes. While the potatoes cooked, I topped ButcherBox steak with Primal Palate Steak Seasonings and cooked it in a cast iron skillet until medium rare then let it rest for 5 or more minutes. When the potatoes had about 5 minutes left, I made a quick salad of arugula and apple topped with Primal Kitchen Ranch, plus salt and pepper.
This lunch took about 25 minutes. I first boiled rice until light and fluffy, about 20 minutes. While the rice was cooking, I cooked up ButcherBox ground beef with red and yellow bell peppers. Once the ground beef was browned, then I added a packet of Mike’s Organic Yellow Curry Paste with a can of coconut milk then added a bit of salt and lime juice.
For this 30 minute dinner, I preheated an oven to 400 degrees. Then I tossed diced eggplant and carrots in avocado oil and salt and cooked the veggies for 25-30 minutes. While the veggies roasted, I cooked chopped bacon in a large pot, set it aside, then sauteed onions in the rendered fat. Then I added ButcherBox ground beef and once it was broken down and cooked through, I added Bonafide Creamy Mushroom Bone Broth Soup with salt and pepper. Once the veggies were done roasting, I added the veggies. Then I ate it with leftover carrot fritters (recipe coming soon!).
For this 30 minute dinner, I preheated an oven to 400 degrees, tossed halved brussels spouts in avocado oil and salt then cooked the brussels for 30 minutes. While the brussels roasted, I cooked up Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi using my air fryer gnocchi recipe. Then I cooked up ButcherBox ground beef with sliced kale then added tomato sauce and salt. Then I ate it all with a little artichoke pesto.
This dinner only took about 25 minutes. I cooked ButcherBox ground beef with bell peppers then added Primal Palate Taco Seasonings, hot sauce, lime juice and salt. Then I cooked up cauliflower rice in a pan with some avocado oil, added salt, garlic powder and chopped cilantro. Then when the cauliflower rice was almost done, I pushed it to the side of the pan, added more fat and added sliced plantains to the pan to cook on both sides for 4-5 minutes.
For yet another soup night dinner, I cooked up bacon in a large pot, set it aside once crispy, then I added a whole sliced onion and cooked down for about 10-15 minutes. Then I added ButcherBox ground beef and cooked until brown. Lastly I added Bonafide French Onion Bone Broth Soup and sliced mushrooms and cooked for about 5 minutes. Lastly, I added the bacon back in with salt and pepper.
This dinner took me 30 minutes. I first made a Moroccan carrot salad (no measurements but the ingredient include grated carrots, red onion, raisins, lemon juice, oil, coriander, cumin, honey, salt and pepper) then set aside for later. Then I cooked up Trader Joe’s Cauliflower Gnocchi using my air fryer gnocchi recipe. And while the gnocchi cooked, I cooked a ButcherBox ribeye in a cast iron skillet with Primal Palate Steak Seasonings until medium rare. And I served it all with artichoke pesto that I found at Natural Grocers.
This 30 minute dinner included leftover carrot fritters that were made the night before. For the rest of the dinner, I steamed frozen cauliflower then I pureed it until smooth in a high speed blender with salt and garlic powder. While the cauliflower was cooking, I cooked ButcherBox ground beef in a pan with garlic, onion and bell peppers with salt and pepper then added Primal Palate Meat & Potatoes Seasonings. Then I made a quick tomato salad with cherry tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Last but not least, one last curry! I first made chicken thighs using my air fryer chicken thighs recipe. While the chicken cooked, I I first boiled rice until light and fluffy, about 20 minutes. While the rice cooked. I added oil and peppers to a pan. Once the peppers were soft, I added Mike’s Organic Green Curry Paste and a can of coconut milk, lime juice and salt, and reduced down for about 10 minutes. Then I just added it all together with some cilantro!

5 Best Ground Venison Recipes That Everyone Can Cook At Home
Venison is deer meat, as almost everyone knows, but it is also meat from elk, antelope, moose, reindeer and caribou. Currently, the white-tailed deer is the most hunted and ground venison recipes are very famous in United States.
The most common sight in the markets is the South Texas Antelope, which lives in the foothills of the Himalayas. The antelope was brought to Texas a few decades ago, and now live on the Ranch of King Ranch in South Texas, the country’s largest ranch. Large livestock are regularly slaughtered from livestock. They produce very lean meat that tastes a bit like veal.
Venison has very little fat, so you need to make some simple adjustments to the way you would usually cook beef, pork or a variety of other home-made meats.
When you’re broiling a cut of choice like tender venison or backstrap or filling the grill, cook the meat faster using more heat, then you’ll usually do with the meat. What you want to accomplish is to explore the outside of the deer, while keeping the inside rarely rare or medium. Basket the surface regularly while cooking, and let it rest for about 5 minutes after you take it out of the heat. Cut the cooked meat in front of the cereal.
Cooking venison’s fewer tender cuts should be done by moisture, either by stewing or braising. Make sure and give you more time for cooking than you normally would for beef or other meats.
If the venison you are preparing is frozen, melt it in red wine or buttermilk, one of the recipes you are using works even better. This helps to take some of the liquid meat “funny”, giving it a less harsh taste.
Most hunters will grind all their ground venison recipes, sausage, hamburger or chili meat except for backstrap and round steak. This is because other slices of meat are a little stiffer or harder to cook whole.
When cooking ground Venetian patties, brown them quickly in a frying pan over high heat, then reduce the heat. Add a little red wine or beef stock to the pan, and cook through a venison burger until rare, covered.
Do not leave the cooked deer in the air for a long time. If you don’t serve it right now, wrap it in foil before serving. Then cut it before serving.
Searching for ground venison recipes? We offer ideas for cooking venison. You will be eating the best venison you can imagine!
Venison Hamburgers
For comparison, 1 serving (72%) of ground beef lean has 248 calories, 18 grams of fat and 77 grams of cholesterol. The same serving of venison has 157 calories, 7 grams of fat and 80 milligrams of cholesterol. I’ll take Venice!
That sounds pretty cool, though some skeptics would be quick to say that when you cook your hamburger you need to add deer fat to stay with the meat. Many Venison Cooks suggest adding 1 part ground beef or pork to 2 parts deer. You can do this, and it will still be more nutritious than meat. But we have found that it is not necessary. One teaspoon of olive oil to 1 pound of venison also works, adding only 20 calories to your burger. I’ve also used diced onions in the meat, which doesn’t add anything.
With deer hamburgers you can do a lot. Our basic dish recipe is a great standby. You just mix 1 pound of ground venison, 1 tbs of oil, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Form into patties, sprinkle with nonstick spray and cook.
5 Ground Venison Recipes
Burgers:
The Venison burgers are amazing, and they are very thin and healthy. Roasted, stuffed, with cheese or out. It’s all good. So if you don’t have a meat grinder, invest in one. We use the attachment with our standing mixer. I usually add a little olive oil and some Worcestershire sauce to the ground meat so that the patties don’t separate on the grill. You can also tie the meat with chopped onions or bread crumbs.

Salt Roast:
Salted Roast is one of most favorite Ground Venison Recipes. Get a 5lb bag of course salt and steam in the oven. Nice. Just mix a little water in the salt, put a roasting in a deep roasting pan, and cover it with the salt mixture. As the salt hardens, it traps the steam. This keeps the meat tender and tastes perfect. Cook on a very low temperate. We cook a typical 4lb roast at 200 for about 4 hours. Use a meat thermometer to make sure you don’t cook it. Grate salt and serve.
Kabobs:
Cut your meat into 2-inch cubes and cut into olive oil, lime juice and cilantro for about 1/2 hour. Place the meat on the skewers, add the onion or pepper if desired. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. They are so delicious!
Grilled Strips:
Cut the meat into strips and brush with olive oil and ground pepper. Grill for about 1 to 2 minutes per side. These grilled strips are terrific on salads.
Pizza:
Brown ground venison recipes with olive oil, basil and a small portion of garlic powder. Buy pre-made pizza crust and sauces, cheeses and toppings of your choice. The deer on the pizza is a nice change of pace in the Peroni or sausage. I like to use pesto as my sauce for speed change.
Eating venison does not mean eating the same boring dishes. Be creative and have fun in the kitchen.
Venison Sausage Making
These are simple steps that anyone can follow, with minimal preparation to start your own culinary adventure of making venison and hamburgers. Filling sausages in skins to make link sausage is not a recommended recommendation for a beginner. Once you have finished making Great Pitti Sausage, it’s time to move on to linking sausage, smoked sausage, etc.
Meat Grinder:
Some hand cranks use a meat grinder, but a small electric meat grinder is relatively inexpensive and easy to use. Remember to clean all parts thoroughly as you pass, and, to be safe, you can soak the meat-contacting parts in at least one hour before consuming 50% alcohol and 50% water.
Preparation of Meat:
After deer skin, remove the meat from the carcass and cool overnight. White connective tissue is easier to remove when the meat is cooled near freezing temperatures. Some can be removed with your fingers using latex gloves. Some need to start with a knife at one end and then peel it, and some need to be cut like a fish filling. The meat is then cut into portions and lengths that will fit around the neck of your grinders.
Grinding:
Use a coarse grind as you grind all the Venetians you use. I grind my meat in a large plastic meat tub, but any large kitchen bowl will do. For every four pounds of ground Venice, grind a pound of “bacon ends and peace” or fatty pork and mix both by hand. Alternatively, if you weigh the meat in the east you can grind coarsely with both venison and pork at the same time.
Mixing:
Separate the volume you are going to use in another container as a hamburger. If you are making chili meat you may want to grind the venison differently in the previous step and pack it as a coarse grind without the extra fat. If you plan to make two or more sausage recipes, you may also want to separate each of these. Mix the spices by hand for each recipe and then run through a grinder on a small grinder. (Most grinders come with at least three sized grinders.)
Recipes:
There are lots of rec online recipes to choose from, and you should experiment until you have rides by your family. Before packaging, I want to cook a small box of each mixture to test the mixture I am using. Then, if he needs something, he can mix it up again and add something.
Packaging:
Pack your different blends to the size or style of packaging you want to use, but let it “set” in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooling so that the spices can completely penetrate the meat. I personally prefer to vacuum my meat in King King because it will prevent freezer burning longer than other types of packaging, but if your family is like me, it will last a long time before it happens.

Don’t Forget the Mustard: Small, Eco-Friendly, Health-Conscious Companies are Conquering Condiments
July 15, 2020 6 min read
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
The grill is no longer the domain of the meat eater. With so many brands today manufacturing their own spin on vegan burgers and hot dogs, it’s possible to have a totally meat-free barbecue.
But there’s one product category that’s easy to forget, despite its importance to any decent summer cookout: condiments and toppings. But what’s a pasta or potato salad without mayo mixed in, or a fresh garden salad without something delicious to top it? The numbers back up the importance of the condiment, dressing, and sauce market: currently estimated around $129.5 billion globally, the sector is predicted to expand to $158.6 billion by 2025.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve already seen a shift in the condiments industry in favor of plant-based consumers. Vegan mayo options, once offered by just one or two health food-centric brands, now proliferate the “regular” mayo sections in grocery stores, with even mainstream brands offering their own version. And while regular old ketchup and mustard are generally vegan by default, there’s plenty of room for the category to expand in the direction of plant-based, non-GMO, organic, and other environmental and dietary concerns.
Of course, the original Vegenaise by Follow Your Heart is still going strong, and offers organic, soy-free, reduced fat, and other varieties to suit different dietary needs and interests. They even make gourmet-inspired varieties, like pesto mayo and chipotle mayo, as well as tartar sauce for your vegan “crab” cakes. And in the last few years alone, rockstar brand Eat JUST could be credited with bringing vegan mayonnaise to the masses. They, too, offer a chipotle mayo, for when you want to elevate your burger even further.

Vegan is looking creamier
The indulgence of creamy dressings has been, until recently, out of reach for those who avoid dairy. But thanks to the emergence of new brands, plant-based eaters have more choices now than basic oil and vinegar. Plant Junkie makes a whole line of vegan ranch-style dressings that are also nut, soy, and gluten-free, making them accessible to not only vegans but those with common allergies. And the flavors range from original ranch to turmeric and pepper ranch, making both classic and foodie meals a possibility. Plant Junkie also makes a line of mayo-like spreads made from plant oils like avocado, offering a natural, non-GMO alternative to the standard vegan mayos you’ll find at the store today.
Another dressing innovator is Imagine Vegan Cafe, a Memphis restaurant that’s found success selling their house-made dressings online and in limited retail stores nationwide. They make just two products, a vegan ranch and a vegan “honey” mustard, focusing on what’s arguably the biggest gap for vegans in the dressing aisle. Their dressings boast non-GMO and low sodium labels, and the ingredients are primarily things you’d find in a regular home kitchen – sure to put choosy consumers at ease.
Of course, some of our traditional toppings and dressings are already made with minimal, all-plant-based ingredients, like many of Silver Spring’s horseradish and mustard products. Topping a TofuPup with some spicy horseradish is a classic and totally vegan-friendly way to add a spicy kick to your grilled lunch. And of course, some new brands are finding ways to innovate with traditional plant-based toppings and sides. Cleveland Kitchen works with local farmers and composts their waste, adding a sustainable and pro-community aspect to their core business: sauerkraut and dressings. They make classic and creative varieties, like curry kraut and whiskey dill, and even their creamy dressings (like Caesar and roasted garlic) are vegan-friendly. And if you’re interested in branching out with your kraut even more, Atlantic Sea Farms sells sea-beet kraut, made from sustainably grown kelp with beets and carrots. Also of note is their Sea-Chi, a kimchi made from kelp and cabbage.

Diversity on the condiment shelf
Not all the emphasis is on the basic American staples, however. Ben to Table is a subscription box service that delivers pantry items, and has fully plant-based subscription options. Sauces and condiments are a big component of their boxes – which come from small producers around the world – as their focus is showcasing international cuisines. Past offerings have included Aji Amarillo from Peru, Calabrian chili oil, and Spanish Romesco.
Even humble ketchup is growing past its traditional, corn syrup-sweetened iteration. Sky Valley Foods makes a line of Organicville ketchup and mustards, which are all vegan and, as the name would suggest, made from organic ingredients. So even when consumers are craving the classic tastes they grew up with, brands like Organicville offer an option that suits their ethical and health concerns without sacrificing familiar flavor. And – perhaps unsurprisingly if you’ve read this far – Organicville also has a full line of dressings to top your green or macaroni salads (or, you know, whatever you want), including dairy-free ranch and thousand island. Another brand reinventing the old favorites is Primal Kitchen, which makes a variety of organic condiments, including vegan mayos. But particularly noteworthy are their ketchups, which are not only free of high fructose corn syrup, but entirely unsweetened.
And while it might seem that Big Ketchup has the condiment market locked down, these companies are only a few examples to the contrary. Recent reports suggest that the condiment, dressing, and sauce market is actually very fragmented, made up of lots of smaller players rather than dominated by a few big ones. As consumers continue to turn their interests toward products that are plant-based and allergy-friendly, and also have transparent supply chains and natural ingredients, it seems inevitable that more and more small, innovative brands will continue to break in and disrupt the cookout. The world of what we squeeze and spread on top of our burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and salads is only bound to get bigger.

7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (June 29-July 5)
posted June 27, 2020 by Gina
A free 7-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and updated WW Smart Points.
7-Day Healthy Meal Plan
I can’t believe it is almost July 4th!! In this week’s meal plan you will notice that there is more meat (beef) for the weekend than I usually include. This is for those that might be BBQ-ing for the holiday and serving a small crowd. If meat is too expensive or hard to find, you can swap it for chicken or fish. You can also check my recipes under the July 4th holiday tab. I have also included interchangeable meals for both Saturday and Sunday lunch and dinner meals so you can pick and choose or move things around to work for your schedule. Have a safe and happy 4th!
Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?
Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals!
About The Meal Plan
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2020! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!
youtube
THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

Ham and Cheddar Sliders
Ham and Cheddar Sliders are soft and buttery baked rolls filled with sliced ham and ooey gooey cheese. They are the perfect quick and easy crowd-pleasing meal!
The combination of smokey ham with a melty cheese is undeniably good! Try Easy Ham and Swiss Stromboli or Hot Ham and Swiss Pinwheels for more of this great ham and cheese pairing.
Delicious Ham and Cheddar Sliders
My life has been crazy lately!  I am sure you can all feel my pain.  So needless to say, I have needed quick and easy meals these past few weeks!  These ham and cheese sliders were just that. So simple yet amazing! The ham and melty gooey cheddar was delicious. But the best part of these is the mustard, butter, and poppyseed glaze on top that takes these simple ham and cheddar sliders to a whole different level! It gave these sliders amazing flavor!
These are so great for a quick delicious dinner, yet they would also be great for a big get together or party!  Even the pickiest eater at my house will eat these with joy.  In fact, most of the time, everyone goes back for seconds, so be sure to make plenty!
What you need to make th\e Best Sliders:
These ingredients are so simple and are all family favorites!  They are items that can always be found on my weekly shopping list and come together perfectly in this amazing dish!
White dinner rolls: King’s Hawaiian are hard to beat, but dinner rolls would be pretty fantastic too!
Sliced ham: Smoked honey ham is pretty amazing or any ham you love.
Sliced cheddar cheese: Place half a slice on each roll for great melty texture.  I like the flavor of using a sharp cheddar.
Mayonnaise: Keeps the bread soft in the middle and adds a bit of flavor as well.
Poppy seeds: To taste.  I sometimes do half with and half without for the sake of my kids.
Yellow mustard: The spice from this on the buttery tops of the rolls is amazing!
Butter: Melted to combine with seasoning and brush over the rolls.
Worcestershire sauce: The secret seasoning ingredient in the butter sauce that will take these sliders to the next level!.
Making a Sliders:
These ham and cheese sliders are so easy to assemble.  Just layer your ham and cheese onto a sliced roll and brush the tops with your butter seasonings.  Pop them in the oven, and serve them up hot!
Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by cutting each dinner roll in half and spread mayonnaise on each side.
Add cheese and meat: Fold the slice ham in half and top with sliced cheese.
Place rolls in pan: Place them in a 9×13 baking dish close together. *You should be able to fit 15 in a 9×13 and 9 in a 9×9 if you aren’t doing 24.
Whisk sauce:  Mix together poppy seeds, yellow mustard, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce.  Brush the sauce generously over the top of the rolls.
Bake: Let butter set up then place rolls in preheated oven. If you want the tops less brown, cover with aluminum foil. Let them bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and they are heated throughout.
Tips for Ham Sliders:
Since this recipe is such a huge hit when entertaining as well as a family favorite.  I find myself making it often!  So I have learned some tricks to the perfect sliders and also some ways to change them up from time to time.
Cheese- Swapping out the cheese is an easy way to make these sliders feel totally different.  Provolone, Swiss or any cheese that melts well will work great. Put an extra layer of cheese underneath the meat for extra cheesy sliders that will not get soggy.
Protein- Using roast beef or turkey also works great in these sliders.  When cooking for a large crowd I will make some of each.  Just be sure your meat layer is even throughout all sliders.
Sauce: Mayonnaise can be left out of this recipe if you do not enjoy it.
Dipping Sauce: My kids love to dip their sliders in ranch dressing or honey mustard.
Breakfast: When we have friends and family stay with us I add bacon and eggs to these to make a crowd-pleasing breakfast option!
Seasonings: Add Italian, onion, and garlic seasonings for extra flavor in your topping.
Serving Size: When planning how many to make, plan for each person to eat 2-4 of these yummy sliders.
What to serve with Sliders?
Depending on whether you are making this as a lunch, dinner, or appetizer there are endless options of things to serve with these ham and cheddar sliders.  I have served them with salads, vegetables, chips, soup, and french fries just to name a few things.
Storing and Reheating Ham and Cheddar Sliders:
This recipe is perfect as a make ahead freezer meal or for prepping the night before entertaining.  Simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to bake.
Make ahead: This sandwich can be made 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Storage: Tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerator, leftovers will last up to 3 days.  In the freezer, leftovers will last 2 weeks.

These are so great for a quick delicious dinner, yet they would also be great for a big get together or party!  Even the pickiest eater at my house will eat these with joy.  In fact, most of the time, everyone goes back for seconds, so be sure to make plenty!
What you need to make th\e Best Sliders:
These ingredients are so simple and are all family favorites!  They are items that can always be found on my weekly shopping list and come together perfectly in this amazing dish!
White dinner rolls: King’s Hawaiian are hard to beat, but dinner rolls would be pretty fantastic too!
Sliced ham: Smoked honey ham is pretty amazing or any ham you love.
Sliced cheddar cheese: Place half a slice on each roll for great melty texture.  I like the flavor of using a sharp cheddar.
Mayonnaise: Keeps the bread soft in the middle and adds a bit of flavor as well.
Poppy seeds: To taste.  I sometimes do half with and half without for the sake of my kids.
Yellow mustard: The spice from this on the buttery tops of the rolls is amazing!
Butter: Melted to combine with seasoning and brush over the rolls.
Worcestershire sauce: The secret seasoning ingredient in the butter sauce that will take these sliders to the next level!.
Making a Sliders:
These ham and cheese sliders are so easy to assemble.  Just layer your ham and cheese onto a sliced roll and brush the tops with your butter seasonings.  Pop them in the oven, and serve them up hot!
Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by cutting each dinner roll in half and spread mayonnaise on each side.
Add cheese and meat: Fold the slice ham in half and top with sliced cheese.
Place rolls in pan: Place them in a 9×13 baking dish close together. *You should be able to fit 15 in a 9×13 and 9 in a 9×9 if you aren’t doing 24.
Whisk sauce:  Mix together poppy seeds, yellow mustard, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce.  Brush the sauce generously over the top of the rolls.
Bake: Let butter set up then place rolls in preheated oven. If you want the tops less brown, cover with aluminum foil. Let them bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and they are heated throughout.
Tips for Ham Sliders:
Since this recipe is such a huge hit when entertaining as well as a family favorite.  I find myself making it often!  So I have learned some tricks to the perfect sliders and also some ways to change them up from time to time.
Cheese- Swapping out the cheese is an easy way to make these sliders feel totally different.  Provolone, Swiss or any cheese that melts well will work great. Put an extra layer of cheese underneath the meat for extra cheesy sliders that will not get soggy.
Protein- Using roast beef or turkey also works great in these sliders.  When cooking for a large crowd I will make some of each.  Just be sure your meat layer is even throughout all sliders.
Sauce: Mayonnaise can be left out of this recipe if you do not enjoy it.
Dipping Sauce: My kids love to dip their sliders in ranch dressing or honey mustard.
Breakfast: When we have friends and family stay with us I add bacon and eggs to these to make a crowd-pleasing breakfast option!
Seasonings: Add Italian, onion, and garlic seasonings for extra flavor in your topping.
Serving Size: When planning how many to make, plan for each person to eat 2-4 of these yummy sliders.
What to serve with Sliders?
Depending on whether you are making this as a lunch, dinner, or appetizer there are endless options of things to serve with these ham and cheddar sliders.  I have served them with salads, vegetables, chips, soup, and french fries just to name a few things.
Storing and Reheating Ham and Cheddar Sliders:
This recipe is perfect as a make ahead freezer meal or for prepping the night before entertaining.  Simply wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to bake.
Make ahead: This sandwich can be made 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
Storage: Tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerator, leftovers will last up to 3 days.  In the freezer, leftovers will last 2 weeks.

how i stock the smitten kitchen – smitten kitchen
It’s true: I’ve dragged my feet over writing a guide to what I keep in my “pantry” (I don’t have a pantry) and fridge for 14 years now. I have my reasons, primarily that I’m not sure I know what your kitchen needs. I mean, shouldn’t you stock the stuff you need for what you’ll want to cook and not some arbitrary list from a lady who loves Triscuits? Maybe you don’t love Triscuits! (Sorry you’re so wrong.) The idea of buying a kitchen full of someone else’s groceries is very much against the way I think anyone should shop. I know your kitchen will grow organically, and accurately reflect what you need if you buy things for what you want to cook as you want to cook them. Second, due to the nature of my work here I have an absolutely unusual amount of stuff in my kitchen cabinets and fridge. It’s totally justified for me, while making little sense for others. On the flip side, I live in NYC and have grocery stores and Greenmarkets quite close, but also as a small kitchen with very few cabinets, meaning that not only can I not stock very much at a time, I don’t need to — I can always dash out for vinegar or dried pasta. This is not the way most people shop.
So why now? Shopping and stocking up has taken on a whole new meaning during the pandemic, for us too. I can’t safely go to the store as often as I used to and there isn’t as much on the shelves when I do. I have to be strategic; I need a system. And of course I’ve amassed a lot of opinions on groceries after 14 years of a cooking career. Thus, please, think of this less as The Last Pantry Shopping Guide You’ll Ever Need, but a tour of the things I keep around more often than not — and would make a point to restock when I’m out of them (vs. say, the 00 flour I’ve bought for a few recipes over the years but don’t consistently keep around). Perhaps you’ll find something useful in planning your own next grocery order or pantry meal; I hope you do.
Pantry | Fridge | Freezer | Produce | Notes | Feeding Others
Things I Keep In The Pantry
Dried
Flours: All-purpose and whole-wheat flour get me through 99% of my baking. I never buy cake flour, preferring to make my own. I also keep whole-wheat flour around; it goes rancid (it will smell musty) much faster than white flour; if you only use it sporadically, keep it in the freezer. I rarely buy bread flour unless I’m on a bread-making kick, but if you make enough pizza or other breads, it can be worth it. If you like to make pasta, you should buy fine semolina. For specific cooking projects, I sometimes keep rye flour, barley flour, spelt, oat, almond meal, and/or gluten-free flour blends around, but I don’t consider them staples that must be replenished as soon as they’re depleted.  // New York Deli Rye Bread, Whole Wheat Apple Muffins
Pasta and noodles: I keep a mix of pasta shapes around, some long, some short plus some tiny ones, like orzo, ditalini, and fregola/large couscous. When I find it, Setaro is one of my favorite brands of dried pasta. I like to stock dried rice noodles and ramen-style noodles, too. // Quick, Essential Stovetop Mac-and-Cheese, Crispy Tofu Pad Thai
Rice and grains: My personal favorites are a really long-grain white and a short-grain brown rice; it’s a bit random. I also keep a short-grain white rice like arborio or carnaroli for risotto and rice pudding, plus small couscous and farro (or barley, wheatbeeries, or freekeh). I tend to only buy quinoa, millet, or buckwheat when working on specific recipes that use them. Worth knowing: Cooked grains freeze fantastically for future dishes. // One-Pan Farro with Tomatoes, Crispy Rice and Egg Bowl with Ginger-Scallion Vinaigrette, Arborio Rice Pudding
Dried beans, lentils, and split peas: I like to keep dried black, small red, and chickpeas around but would caution you not to buy much more than you think you’ll use, as they will ultimately get stale and there’s no crime in being a canned bean person. A few random favorites of mine: dried chana dal (also sold as split chickpeas or bengal grams) makes for the smoothest hummus, no peeling required. Lentils de puy are dark green and don’t fall apart in soups and salads. Yellow split peas make a fantastic everyday dal, and black lentils make a stunning special one. // Ethereally Smooth Hummus, A Really Great Pot of Chickpeas, Burrata with Lentils and Basil Vinaigrette, Everyday Yellow Dal, Punjabi-Style Black Lentils
Sugar: Granulated sugar, raw or turbinado sugar, light brown, dark brown, and powdered sugar are always around in my pantry but I, of course, bake quite a bit. I mean, I also have pearl sugar, but I’m still on the bag I bought we-will-not-talk-about-it years ago. Brown sugars should be keep as airtight as possible. Nothing here goes bad. // Unfussy Sugar Cookies
More dry goods: Rolled oats and Irish oats, panko-style breadcrumbs, cornstarch and tapioca starch/flour (which is my favorite pie thickener these days), dried unsweetened coconut, cornmeal, nuts (we like whole and sliced almonds, peanuts, and I like walnuts; keep nuts in the freezer for longer storage as they will get rancid at room temperature) a mix of dried fruit, and always, non-negotiably, ground espresso for our Moka pot. (Lavazza Crema e Gusto is our current favorite). // Thick, Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Chicken Milanese, Even More Perfect Apple Pie, Green Beans with Almond Pesto, Stovetop Americanos
Spices: I have a rack off the side of my kitchen with my spices. Listen, I can tell you to buy Aleppo flakes, allspice, anise, bay leaves, cayenne, and celery seed — and that’s just the first row — but it will make a lot more sense for you to buy spices as you long for them in your food. I firmly disagree with anyone who tells you spices that are 6 months or a year old have to go — trust your nose and your food. When it doesn’t smell like much anymore or you’re not finding flavor in the dishes that contain it, it’s time for a refresh.
Canned
Beans: Black beans, kidney beans, small red beans, cannellini beans, small white beans, and chickpeas are my standards but you probably know that I really love beans. I often buy a canned black bean soup, pouring off some of the extra liquid at the top instead of mixing it in, for shortcut saucy black beans. For everyday beans, I mostly buy Goya. For special cooking, or simpler bean dishes that really glow up with better ingredients, I use Rancho Gordo. // Crisp Black Bean Tacos, Red Kidney Bean Curry, Cannellini Aglio e Olio, Crisped Chickpeas with Herbs and Garlic Yogurt
Tomatoes: 28-ounce cans (one whole and one crushed) prove the most versatile to me, as well as tomato paste (although I also like to keep a tube in the fridge for when I need less than a can). Should you only have tomato paste cans, you can freeze the extra paste in tablespoon-sized dollops for future recipes and be glad you did. // Quick Pasta and Chickpeas, Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter
Coconut milk: I always regret it when I don’t have a can. In my unscientific studies, I’ve found Trader Joe’s coconut milk to be the richest/creamiest. // Braised Ginger Meatballs in Coconut Broth
Liquid
Vinegars: Vinegar keeps for eons and we love acidic stuff, so I keep many around, including plain white vinegar, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sherry vinegar, rice vinegar, and black vinegar. Do you need all of these? Of course not. But I don’t think I could pick two desert island favorites. // Use in: Easiest Fridge Dill Pickles, Pickled Vegetable Sandwich Slaw, Giardinera, and Pickled Cabbage Salad.
Olive oils: I like to keep a “good” olive oil around (something delicate for finishing a dish or salad dressing) and an everyday one around (for roasting, sautéing, frying, and baking). Repeat after me: There is no reason to fry an egg at high heat in your best olive oil. California Olive Ranch makes a great everyday olive oil; 3-liter cans, decanted as needed, brings the price down. If not, the bottles are generous. // Crisp Rosemary Flatbreads and Chocolate Olive Oil Cake.
Other oils: Toasted sesame, safflower/sunflower (my go-to vegetable oil for high-heat cooking and roasting, and cakes that need a neutral oil), coconut oil, and I don’t deep-fry often, but peanut oil is my favorite for when I do. Toasted sesame oil has the shortest shelf life; keep yours in the fridge if you use it infrequently. Do you love the taste of butter but dislike that it burns easily at high temperatures? I am the last person on earth to discover ghee — which is like clarified butter but tastes a bit toastier, due to the way it is made — I’ve been making up for lost time. Known better for its application to Indian cuisine, I also love it for frying eggs (even The Crispy Egg) and rather luxuriously roasting potatoes. It keeps a very long time at room temperature // Black Pepper Tofu and Eggplant, Double Chocolate Layer Cake, Easiest French Fries, Ginger Fried Rice
Liquid sweeteners: I keep molasses, honey, and golden syrup (which I prefer to corn syrup for flavor) around, mostly for baking. (I keep maple syrup in the fridge.) // Flapjacks, Majestic and Moist Honey Cake, Pecan Pie, and Nutmeg Maple Cream Pie
Vanilla extract and vanilla bean paste: I make my own vanilla extract. I recently picked up vanilla bean paste for a wedding cake project; I don’t use it as a replacement for vanilla extract (to me, they have different flavors) but in recipes where I’d otherwise add all or part of a vanilla bean. Heilala vanilla bean paste is highly concentrated and wonderful. // Make Your Own Vanilla Extract, New Classic Wedding Cake + How To
Etceteras
Everything else: Nutella; Triscuits; Ryvita or Wasa crisps; cheddar bunnies or rockets, sadly not homemade; at times, granola, chocolate, and cocoa for baking. I actually keep a box of baking chocolate in a cooler part of our apartment because our kitchen runs warm and I don’t want to melt and bloom it. My favorite baking chocolate is Guittard, but it’s not widely-enough available near me that I buy it exclusively. The pound-plus bars from Trader Joe’s are excellent for bittersweet baking. My favorite cocoa powder (Valrhona) is one of the most expensive and I can only encourage you not to try it because I’ve found it impossible to use others since. Should you buy it, I highly encourage you to buy a 3kg package (in 3 1-kg bags) to bring the price down and split it with friends who like to bake.
Things I Keep In The Fridge
Butter: Like olive oil, I keep two levels of butter around, one that is more everyday and unsalted for baking, usually a store brand or whatever was on sale, and a fancier or European-style (higher butterfat) salted around for toast and other finishes, where the flavor difference is more apparent. Butter absolutely goes rancid — and unsalted butter turns faster than salted butter (salt is a preservative) — so if you’re not going to use it within 3 to 4 weeks, I’d definitely keep it in the freezer.
Dairy: Milk, cream, half-and-half, sour cream, yogurt, buttermilk. Yes, we keep an unusual amount of dairy around. I don’t believe in buttermilk expiration dates. There, I said it. // Buttermilk Roast Chicken, Dreamy Cream Scones
Dijon and spicy mustards: I’m not going to tell you how many types of mustard we have in the fridge because you’ll unfollow me forever. But if I had to only choose one, it would be a smooth Dijon — this is a great everyday Dijon mustard. This is a delightfully crunchy whole-grain Dijon, and this our current favorite spicy mustard, // Mustard-Roasted Potatoes, Dijon and Cognac Beef Stew
Bouillon: I am a great fan of Better than Bouillon concentrates, which have much better flavor than most boxed stocks, keep for ages, and are wonderfully space-efficient. I actually keep one of each (beef, chicken, vegetable, mushroom, turkey) but if you were just choosing one, don’t sleep on that No-Chicken Base one because it has a cozy soup flavor but is also vegetarian. The turkey is great when you need extra stock for Thanksgiving cooking.
Cheese: We also love cheese and keep sharp white cheddar, aged parmesan and pecorino, halloumi, cotija, cream cheese, and sometimes feta around. Halloumi and cotija keep a very long time. Always save your parmesan rinds for flavoring soups. Nobody asked, but this is my favorite grocery store cheddar and my favorite feta is Bulgarian. // Parmesan Broth with Kale and White Beans, Foolproof Cacio e Pepe
Eggs: Most baking recipes call for large eggs. // 44 Egg-Centric Recipes
Yeast: I keep both active dry and instant yeast around, but I mostly use the latter these days and so can you. (Here’s an excellent primer on why.) Instant yeast keeps longer than active dry, but both keep longer in the fridge, and longest in the freezer. SAF Instant yeast is considered one of the best // No-Knead Bread
Miso: This also keeps for ages in the fridge and adds an unmistakable boost to food. // Miso Sweet Potato and Broccoli Bowl, Avocado Salad with Carrot-Ginger Dressing
Jams: Our go-tos are raspberry and apricot, but we also have fig, cherry, and more. We use a lot of jam because my kids (cough “kids”) like peanut butter and jelly a whole lot, and because I think a freshly baked biscuit with salted butter and apricot jam is a very fine thing. // Austrian Raspberry Shortbread, Easy Jam Tart, My Favorite Buttermilk Biscuits
Nut and seed butters: Peanut butter, tahini, almond, or sunflower seed butter. Sunflower seed is my favorite nut-free peanut butter swap. // Salted Peanut Butter Cookies
Extras that make us happy: Fish sauce (Megachef and Red Boat are my go-tos), mayo, preserved lemon paste, (a great alternative to chopping all or part of a preserved lemon for recipes), a favorite harissa (or a homemade one), capers, olives, I get these anchovies when I can, salami, chile-garlic sauce, this hot fudge sauce, maple syrup, and we always have this chili crisp.
Things I Keep In The Freezer
Bread: We don’t go through bread fast enough to keep it at room temperature, but the freezer keeps it perfectly.
Fruit: Mango, berries, strawberries, sometimes old bananas, and other fruits we might use to make smoothies. Frozen fresh pineapple and/or watermelon chunks make for some fine cocktails. // Frozen Watermelon Mojitos, Piña Colada
Vegetables: I like to keep edamame, peas, corn, and artichoke hearts around.
Pasta and dumplings: Potstickers, wontons, pelmeni and vareniki (we have a ton of these right now because my MIL got us Russian groceries last weekend), and tortellini are very helpful to keep around for kids lunches and easy dinners. // Spring Vegetable Potstickers, Chicken Wonton Soup, Potato Vareniki
Burritos, Tarts, and Casserole-ish things: I don’t plan well enough ahead to do this often, but when I do, I’m thrilled to have burritos, galettes or quiches, an extra lasagna, ziti, or pizza beans in the freezer for future meals. // Breakfast Burritos, Perfect Vegetable Lasagna, My Old-School Ziti, Pizza Beans
Meat: Bacon, sometimes pancetta, sausage, and recently I’ve been buying some vacuum-sealed steaks and pork chops, although I’ve yet to get in the habit of remembering that they’re there and need to be defrosted at least half day before we want them. // Bacon Corn Hash, Steak Sandwiches
Stock: I love to make extra chicken stock and freeze it in quart bags. I don’t think every soup needs homemade stock, but for simpler ones, the extra depth of real bone broth makes a difference. If I don’t have time to make stock, I keep a “stock bag” in the freezer with the backs, wings, and/or other unused parts of chicken plus any onions, carrots, or celery that I don’t think I’ll get to. // Perfect, Uncluttered Chicken Stock
Ice cream and sorbet: I’m married to someone who (understandably) requires a bowl of Haagen Dazs chocolate each evening, so that’s a given, but I also should confess that I splurged on a no-bowl-to-chill ice cream maker last summer and it’s definitely led to an ongoing supply of homemade delights like lemon sorbet, passionfruit sorbet, and real mint ice cream; I get 95% of my ice cream recipes from David Lebovitz’s Perfect Scoop.
Produce
Fruit: Lemons and limes keep and are two of my favorite ingredients; don’t underestimate the importance of acidity in making simple ingredients taste magical. Until better local fruit is available, we look out for decent apples, oranges, mango (our family favorite), cantaloupe, and pineapple to keep around, as they have a longer shelf life than raspberries (which we also buy, but eat quickly or regret not doing so). // Whole Lemon Tart, Even More Perfect Apple Pie
Fridge vegetables: Carrots, celery, cabbage (green, red, and savoy), cauliflower, broccoli, leeks, scallions, and greens (curly kale, broccoli rabe, spinach) are my go-tos. If you’re buying greens to cook, try to wilt them down when you get home from the store, as they’ll keep better in softened bundles (and can be frozen) than they will in boxes and bags, and take up less space too. I find that leafy herbs like mint, cilantro, and parsley keep 1 to 2 weeks longer if I first wrap them in a barely damp paper towel and put them in a zip-lock bag. // Roasted Cabbage with Walnuts and Parmesan, Carrot Salad with Tahini and Crisped Chickpeas, Broccoli Slaw
Room temperature vegetables: Shallots, onion (red, yellow, white), garlic, ginger, potatoes, and winter squash keep and keep // Caramelized Shallots, Slow-Roasted Sweet Potatoes, 44-Clove Garlic Soup
Notes
I lean brand-ambivalent. Sure, I like Goya beans and Better than Boullon but I try not to get too stuck on a brand of flour (I use King Arthur or Gold Medal but also Heckshers sometimes) because I think it does SK readers a disservice if my recipes work best with xyz brand that maybe isn’t easy to get. Before you buy any fancy brand of olive oil, why not taste the reasonably priced ones and see if you like it? Are you sure you can’t make great cookies with 365 brand butter? (Spoiler: You can.) Where I’ve linked to product here, however, I really just buy that one specific brand so it’s worth noting.
Most dry goods that you hope to keep for a longer period of time or don’t go through quickly benefit from being stored in the freezer, from yeast to whole wheat flour to nuts and seeds and coffee. Everything I just listed here doesn’t need to be defrosted either; you can use them very cold as you would at room temperature.
I keep all dried goods — everything — in jars. I honestly think there are people who don’t keep things in airtight containers and there are people who have had… crawly things. I had them one time four kitchens ago and I will not let that happen again. When everything is self-contained, even if you bring home something compromised, it would keep to itself. I have jars from all over (Weck, Le Parfait, Bormioli Rocco) but when I need more, usually buy 6- or 12-packs of Ball Wide-Mouth Jars in 16-ounce and 24-ounce because (praise hands) they stack!  I have various sizes of these small clamp-top jars for easy access to salts, baking powder, and baking soda I buy in larger quantities. I keep my flours and sugar in Borgonovo 145-ounce jars I can never find anymore but I’m working on a new solution — for you and me.
As always on Smitten Kitchen, nothing here is sponsored. I do all my own shopping and most of the schlepping.
Feeding others
Finally, it’s always a little incongruous to write about shopping and cooking in a casual way (“Ugh, my quinoa went rancid again!” — me, too often, not proud of this) at a time when so many people are don’t have enough to eat. If you’re looking for a place or places to help, I can tell you what I do: I have automatic monthly donations (my favorite no-planning-required way to support what I feel strongly about) set up for No Kid Hungry (which focuses on ending child hunger) and Feeding America (a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks).

Easy Pantry and Freezer Meals
These Easy Pantry and Freezer Meals use staple ingredients, plus a few things that last a while in the fridge, to make simple, kid-friendly dinners.
Hi friends! 
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for easy pantry and freezer meals so I wanted to put together a post of simple ideas for you guys! I used ingredients from my pantry and freezer, along with a few things that last a while in the fridge like pre-packaged hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, carrots, cheese, pesto etc! For veggies I relied on vegetables that have a long shelf life in the pantry like potatoes, squash and onions, carrots in the fridge, plus frozen vegetables (canned vegetables also work!). For fruits, I tried to include things like apples and oranges that last a while, plus frozen and canned/packaged fruit. 
Remember that these meals are flexible. You can easily swap in your favorite type of frozen vegetables, crackers, pasta, beans, frozen meat etc. I’m not sponsored by or endorsing any specific brands for this post. I took these photos using what I had on hand, without any special trips to the store because these are all actual meals I would make for my family, especially during this time when we might not be able to get to the grocery store as often as usual!
Easy Pantry and Freezer Meals
Burger + Fruit + Veggies – Choose your favorite meat, fish or veggie burger and pair with steamed veggies and fruit
Pancakes + Smoothie – Make pancakes from scratch or use your favorite mix. Pair with a yogurt-based smoothie and throw in some frozen fruits (and veggies like spinach, cauliflower or zucchini if you want!) and healthy fat like peanut butter
Chicken Nuggets + Veggie Fries + Applesauce – Swap veggie fries for regular fries if you want and add an extra side of veggies
Sweet Potato & Black Bean Enchiladas – Mix roasted sweet potatoes with black beans, corn and cheese. Spoon into tortillas and top with enchilada sauce and cheese before baking. If you have meat in your freezer you can cook and use that instead of sweet potatoes, or you could skip the tortillas and mix in some cooked quinoa, farro or rice and scoop with chips. You could also use canned chicken. 
Snack Plate – Make a plate with crackers, sliced cheese, meat sticks/pepperoni/smoked meats, hard-boiled eggs and hummus for everyone to share. Throw on some carrots and a side of fruit if you want!
Pesto Pasta + Chicken Sausage – Cook the pasta, add sliced sausage and pesto and mix. Serve with steamed veggies.
Italian Salmon + Farro + Veggies – Drizzle salmon with dressing and bake. Serve with farro/rice/quinoa and your favorite veggies. If you have frozen broccoli or green beans etc you could roast them right on the pan with the salmon from frozen.
French Toast + Fruit + Yogurt – Mix eggs, milk and cinnamon. Dip bread and cook on the stove or griddle. Serve with packaged fruit and yogurt. If you don’t have yogurt, drizzle the french toast with peanut butter or add a handful of nuts to the plate!
Chicken & Chickpea Soup – Cook chicken in a dutch oven with garlic, onion and some frozen veggies. Add a can of chickpeas and tomatoes, some broth and your favorite noodles. Make it vegetarian by leaving out the chicken or swap chickpeas for white beans if you prefer!
Sausage Pizza + Carrots + Oranges – Make your own pizza dough. Top with pizza sauce, chicken sausage and cheese. Serve with carrots or another veggie and apple slices or clementines!
Pumpkin Mac & Cheese + Apples + Trailmix – Make a box of mac and cheese but stir in some pumpkin. Or skip the pumpkin and throw in some peas. 
Breakfast Hash – Roast potatoes. Mix with black beans and scrambled eggs. Top with cheese and salsa.
And now here are some recipes already on the blog that can be made with little to no modification.
Carrot Pineapple Turkey Meatballs – Swap green onions for white onions if you need to. You can also leave out the red pepper if you don’t have. Serve with rice/farro/quinoa/cauliflower rice and broccoli (roasted from frozen).
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs – Add extra vegetables if you want! Or serve with steamed veggies and rice.
White Chicken Chili – The recipes calls for fresh chicken. If you don’t have some in your freezer to cook you can sub canned chicken or use extra beans.
Instant Pot Pasta With Meat Sauce – If you don’t have an Instant Pot, just cook some ground meat, mix it with a jar of sauce and serve over your favorite noodles.
Lentil Veggie Curry – You can leave out the potatoes or peppers if you don’t have them. Swap lentils for chickpeas if you don’t have them. 
Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Sausage – I’ve never roasted frozen green beans but I have done it with broccoli. Or you could just steam veggies and mix them in
Sheet Pan BBQ Meatballs with Sweet Potatoes – Use whatever ground meat you have. Or try these Pesto Lentil Balls. 
Baked Ranch Chicken Taquitos – Swap chicken for canned chicken if you need to or make them vegetarian with extra beans.
Tuna Quinoa Cakes – You can also use canned salmon or probably even canned chicken
Lentil Sloppy Joes – Leave out the mushrooms if you don’t have them
Crispy Chicken Bowls with Potatoes  – Swap steamed veggies for roasted and mix with potatoes. You could also use chicken nuggets from the freezer.
BBQ Pulled Pork Loaded Sweet Potatoes – If you don’t have meat, make a vegetarian bean chili with canned beans and tomatoes and serve over baked potatoes
A couple of other ideas? Tuna casserole with egg noodles, frozen mixed veggies and a can of cream of mushroom soup or black bean nachos!
Hope this was helpful!

Lake Tahoe has a great mix of both casual and quisite restaurants.
Whether it's a place to pop the question or to celebrate a special occasion, you can find a great table with a fantastic view of the lake at Christy. Special occasions call for reservations at the award-winning Stella at the Cedar House Hotel or the Zagat rated Soule Domain.
If you just want to keep your dinner low key, but cozy after a day out in the snow, visit Pianeta for their rustic Italian food or Burger Me for their organic burger and great lemonade. Both of these restaurants are in the foodie capital of Truckee, California. If you want another nice view of the railroad town, visit the Cottonwood on the hill above Truckee.
For breakfast (or a hangover cure) head to the Fire Sign Cafe in between Tahoe City and Homewood for their omelets and wonderful baked goods. If you are closer to the North Shore, go to the Old Post Office Coffee Shop in Carnelian Bay for a stack of pancakes that will give you the crab loading you need for Tahoe's winter sports. If you are on the South Shore, a must-do stop will be at Rude Brother's Bagels where you can pick up some excellent bagels and coffee or bagel sandwiches to take with you in your hiking backpack.
