How to build the perfect pantry meal
As the supermarket shelves begin to refill with pantry staples, many of us are slowly building up our stocks at home again. What a relief! But if you’re anything like me, there are times when we open a fully-stocked pantry only to feel like there’s nothing to eat.
This can become a slippery slope for our health, as making a quick UberEats order suddenly becomes the easier and less stressful choice. Unfortunately, most takeaway foods are high in added unhealthy fats, salt and sugar instead of the nutrients we need to maintain our health, immunity and weight. And more often than not, a takeaway meal turns out to be more expensive than cooking at home with ingredients already sitting in your kitchen.
