Recipes Using Pantry Staples

I have more than enough time to peruse the internet for amazing recipes now that I am self-isolating at home! I found so many fun recipes to share, but then came across a site page that is probably more helpful than most of anything else I found out there—- recipes using pantry staples like rice and beans!

In a time like this, many of us are just trying to make sure we have enough to eat, stores are trying to keep up with stocking their supplies, and it’s not ideal to leave the house to find fancy/unique ingredients.
