r/WhatShouldICook

About to meal plan for next week and need to save money by using lots of what's on hand. Here are some main items. I have most pantry staples (rices, flours, spices, oils, etc). It's for 2 adults.

2 lbs chicken breast (frozen)

Package of Chinese sausage

8 bratwurst links (frozen)

lots of eggs

half-used bags of frozen broccoli and frozen spinach

1 crown of broccoli

3 overripe tomatoes

1/2 pound small sweet peppers

masala paste

big hunk of daikon

2 carrots

shredded parm

1 can black beans

1 tin smoked trout

pork floss

OKAY I have SOOOOO many vegetables from a local farm's CSA share and need help thinking of something to make (a side dish for 10-15 people) for a potluck tonight. I'm low income so don't have a ton of other cooking essentials but here's what I got:

PARSLEY, lots of it, Celery, Onions, Fresh garlic, Broccoli, Squash, Fennel, Cilantro, Scallions

What else I have on hand: chicken breasts, spam, canned beans, pasta & pasta sauces, rice, curry sauces, parmesan and cheddar, eggs, lots of spices/dried herbs, butters/oils/etc.

There's also one small store open near me and I could pick up a few things (i.e. bread, dairy, small basics).

THANK YOU

- 1 bag frozen edamame
- few cans of diced tomatoes

(no protein except a few cans of tuna)

i’m definitely okay with getting creative but lmk what you’d make

thank you🙏🙏🙏

What is your go to craving snack? What are some good things to make.

My husband and I are tired of the same old recipes. We are wanting to learn to make food from all over the world. I would love if you would share. Please and Thank you 💕💕

Hi all, I am looking for some recipes involving some specific ingredients:
Beets, Kale, Cucumber, green beans, sweet onion, pea shoots, ground beef, and black beans.

For context, I just joined a local CSA as I am trying to eat cleaner and support local farmers. Anyways, this is what I received this week and, being brand new to prepping healthy stuff like this from scratch, I’m not sure what to do with some of these items, especially the beets kale and pea shoots. Please send any recipes that contain any of these ingredients! Thanks!

I have some vinegar and I am not sure what to do with it. I have:

• White vinegar
• White wine vinegar
• Red wine vinegar
• Chinese black vinegar
• Balsamic vinegar
• Rice vinegar

Other than marinades, what can I make?

I am having friends over and planning on grilling skewers that I do often for me and my husband: pineapple, onion, and flank steak with a teriyaki-style marinade. When I make this for just us, I do white rice if anything, but we are hosting some people who are really good cooks. They usually make very fancy meals for us. Is there a side dish I should make? What goes with this? Quinoa, fancier rice? TIA

Hi all,

I'm looking for light things to cook that are easy on the stomach and good for summer! I'm also planning on going to some farmer's markets where I can get new potatoes, beets, and young, tender cabbage (among other things).
