Make Those Groceries Stretch: Cooking Without a Recipe

Cooking is so much more difficult when you have to do all this preparation to find a recipe, grocery shop, measure out each ingredient... and then, you're left with wasted ingredients that didn't get fully used up. Let's be honest, they will end up in the trash once they expire. In this episode, I'm sharing what I have learned about shelf-stable pantry staples, scrappy cooking, and making the most out of your time and money when it comes to nourishing your family. I also share some easy meal ideas to use up ingredients you have around, how to best keep meat and veggies on hand, and more! Support Rookie Mama and my family at buymeacoffee.com/sydraefaulw :)
