After being trapped at my camper for a week while my car was in the shop, I've decided to really stock up the pantry! Does anyone have recipes for meals, snacks or desserts that can be made totally (or mostly) from the pantry with shelf stable ingredients?

I bought the book-Not Just Beans. You can find it on the Living on a Dime website. It's full of the type of recipes you are looking for and has tons of tips in it.

I frequently made Pantry Soup and still do occasionally. (I am 66). Use any canned vegetables you like, except beets. Drain the veg's , so you don't have the extra salt, etc.. Add a splash of oil to give the soup a stocky look, Add several beef or chicken bullion cubes for meat flavor. Use tomato soup or sauce or paste for the tomato flavor. I put in a can or two of diced or stewed tomatoes, break up the stewed tomatoes. Can add fresh veg's if you want, potatoes, carrots, celery or onion, or stick to all canned. Use whatever seasonings you want, my granddaughter age 12 goes through the spice drawer to see how many different ones she can find to put in. I haven't really said what exactly vegs to add cause that depends on what you like and what you have on hand. I like to put sauerkraut in mine. How many cans you use depends, again, on what you have and how much you want to make. Let it all simmer to meld the flavors.

This is one of the best pastry recipes I use -- and even when you aren't forced to use pantry items, bake these up - they will impress your friends when you need to take something to a bakesale.

Almond Puff Pastry

Ingredients - Pastry:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 Tablespoon cold water
Filling:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 Tablespoon almond extract
3 eggs
Frosting:
3 Tablespoons melted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon milk

Pastry: Cut butter into flour; sprinkle cold water and mix until it forms a ball. Separate in half and press out two 2 x 12-inch strips on cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Filling: Boil together water and butter. Remove from heat. Add almond extract and stir in flour. Beat eggs in one at a time. Place batter over crust. Fold pastries over lengthwise and seal edges with water.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes until lightly browned. Cool.

Frosting: Combine ingredients and spread over pastry.

I always go to this website: www.allrecipes.com
Under the search area, you can customize it by looking for certain recipes with what you do have in your pantry.
Worth a try!!
