Cooking from Scratch | Pantry Challenge Week 1

Hey friend, week 1 of the #threeriverschallenge is finished. This week, and all month long, I am feeding my family using food that I already have on hand. Fruits and vegetables that I preserved from my garden, meat I have stored in my freezers, and pantry staples that I have will be what I use to create my meals this month. We will be relying on my from scratch cooking to get us through - creativity is going to be very important!
