About six weeks ago I posted here about PantryReady, a free recipe site I built for food pantry visitors. The response from this community was honestly more than I expected. I am incredibly grateful for the feedback I received, a lot of which has now been incorporated into the website.
A few small things that came directly from feedback here:
- Added equipment filters so you can find recipes for no-cook, microwave-only, or stovetop-only situations
- Made dietary tags filterable (gluten-friendly, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, nut-free, egg-free)
- Expanded the dried beans and lentils ingredient coverage after a few people pointed out gaps
- Added a bunch of new recipes for ingredients that kept coming up: Vienna sausage, canned tuna, ground beef, chickpeas
The site is now at 113 recipes, all built around low cost foods commonly available at the food pantry.
I also received several requests to accept community-submitted recipes. I recently added a recipe submission form so people can send in recipes they actually cook from pantry food. If you have a go-to recipe that fits the vibe (cheap, shelf-stable ingredients, no fancy equipment), I would love to see it. The form is here: https://forms.gle/3GEptcZcTZHL7q6N9
It is also linked from the site itself (footer, recipes page, about page) so you do not have to bookmark it.
No pressure, no email collection, nothing weird. Just trying to make the site more useful by including recipes from the community, not just my own.
Thank you all again for the continued support.
