Here’s a list of 40+ recipes using staple ingredients – all Trim Healthy Mama friendly! We’re talking things like beans (dry and canned), brown rice, canned goods, frozen meats, frozen veggies, things like cabbage and cauliflower and root vegetables that store well, and baking staples.

I’ve included notes by the recipes linked below to indicate some of their main ingredients that could be considered pantry, fridge, or freezer staples. I’ve also included a note of NF (Necessary Food) or CF (Convenient Food) if the recipe is in one of my cookbooks so you don’t unnecessarily print out the recipe if you already have a hard copy of it….

What I Ate [Quarantine]

Here’s the simple Trim Healthy Mama stuff I’ve been eating during coronavirus quarantine – or self isolation, rather. I don’t have the virus that I know of so I’m not sure that the term “quarantine” technically fits, but I didn’t think about that until I had the graphics for this post already made. 😛 I’m just doing the same social distancing and stay at home stuff as everyone else.

To be honest, our lives have not changed a whole lot. We had to cancel some travel plans which was disappointing but at the same time is giving me a chance to get some projects done in preparation for moving this summer. Even though Ryan is in healthcare, the rotation he’s supposed to be on right now is considered “non essential,” so he’d be staying home except for the fact that he prefers to be actively doing something and is currently volunteering at a hospital. I work from home anyway, and I can still go on walks and the occasional grocery run (although I’m keeping that minimal), so other than church being cancelled, life is pretty normal.

To all of you whose lives have been turned upside down, hang in there! This too shall pass….
