Sardinian Herb Soup from Karen’s Kitchen Stories

With all that is going on in the world right now, so many of my fellow food blogger friends are making an effort to share pantry-friendly recipes. I’ll be sharing a few of those recipes with y’all today. Starting with this delicious soup, which you can use whatever type of beans or herbs you have on hand to make.

Coconut Milk French Toast with Caramelized Pineapple from Parsnips + Pastries

You can use whatever type of bread you have available to make this sweet breakfast treat. Can’t find fresh pineapple? Use canned instead. Make sure to pick up a few cans of coconut milk, evaporated milk, or sweetened condensed milk if you can get your hands on them. They’re nice to have around for when fresh milk isn’t available.

Vegetable Herb Rice from Palatable Pastime

I bet pretty much all of us have a bag of rice in our pantries right now. There’s no reason to suffer through plain ol’ white rice if you have a few frozen veggies in your freezer. Add them to cooked rice, along with a few dried herbs and seasonings, for a rice side dish that is anything but boring.

Pinto Bean Soup from I Heart Vegetables

Have a few cans of pinto beans in your pantry right now? Then make this soup. You can trash it up with whatever fixings you have available right now. Diced jalapeño, cheese, fresh tomatoes, herbs, crunchy tortilla chips; the possibilities are endless.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread from The Kitchen Is My Playground

If your bananas get a little too ripe, don’t you dare toss them. Instead, use them to make this sweet treat. And, if you don’t have buttermilk, you can always add a little splash of white vinegar or lemon juice to milk to make your own. The best part about this recipe is that you can enjoy it either for breakfast or dessert.
