This slow cooker beef and mushrooms is a wonderfully delicious comfort food that’s made with an almost “dump and go” ease. Serve it with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes.

This recipe includes canned mushrooms and canned cream soup. I've recommended cream of mushroom but you can use cream of onion or cream of chicken, or a combination. Whatever you have. 

This recipe includes wine. If you don't have any wine, you can use stock or broth. Or, if that's not available, use some water with some bouillon cubes or paste.

This easy fideo soup with beef and tomatoes is hearty and delicious. It’s made in one pot with pantry staples in only 25 minutes.

This is a great recipe to add variety to your ground beef meals. We've added only pantry items to it to make as easy and quick as possible. Less than 30 minutes from stove to table!

If you don't have ground beef, try it with other ground meat. Perhaps you have some ground chicken or turkey? Chop up kielbasa. I think we have a package of vegan "meat" crumbles in the freezer that would work.

Mix and match with your canned vegetables too. Any canned tomatoes. You could add canned corn or green beans.

And, certainly don't worry about whether you can find fideo cut pasta. It's just spaghetti that's been pre-cut. If you have spaghetti, you can break it yourself too!

This chicken piccata recipe is delightfully full of summery lemon flavor and is naturally gluten free, low carb and keto friendly.

This recipe is so wonderfully easy. We purposely didn't bread the chicken breasts so we could keep this gluten free. The only ingredients besides the chicken is chicken stock, butter and lemon, with your usual seasonings.

Again, if you don't have chicken stock in the pantry, you can use water with bouillon cubes or paste. Mom says she would add some white wine. I love white wine cooked down in sauteed mushrooms so I'm all for it.

You may not have fresh lemons, so grab some bottled lemon juice. Definitely look for the lemon pepper seasoning in your spice cupboard!
