Challenge yourself to prepare a meal by utilizing the forgotten ingredients in your kitchen. Delve into the depths of your pantry, refrigerator, and freezer, with the intent of crafting meals exclusively from the ingredients already at your disposal.

From canned goods to grains, spices to frozen vegetables, every ingredient becomes fair game in this culinary challenge as each meal becomes an opportunity to showcase your culinary prowess without a single trip to the grocery store. With creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen, most homes have more than enough ingredients to whip up a diverse array of meals without ever setting foot in a grocery store.

In a country where food waste is the most common waste of money for individuals, the majority of Americans throw away more than twenty percent (20%) of the food they purchase. By re-imagining your meals with what you already have, this one act could be the catalyst you need to reduce unnecessary food waste. This could be the beginning of preventing hundreds of dollars worth of food from being tossed out each year.
