Dinner starts with what you have.

A dinner made from what is already in the kitchen starts with a short list of ingredients, not another recipe tab.

Rice again? Five directions for the pot you made too much of.

Not scrambled again. Five dinners from a carton of eggs.

A carton of eggs makes an omelet, a tomato and egg stir-fry, a frittata, shakshuka or egg salad toast, depending on what else is in the fridge.

Choose an ingredient to use tonight.

Pick something you want to cook with tonight, then look for a base and a little flavor. Beans, rice and a jar of salsa can be a direction; pasta, tomatoes and garlic can be another. You do not need a completely stocked kitchen to start planning.

Make a small plan that fits your evening.

Choose the type of meal first: a bowl, a pasta dish, a wrap or a simple skillet. Check what is actually in the kitchen, then write down only the missing pieces. PantryPrix kitchen tools work here in your browser, without an account.
