Thanks for the great ideas! I just stuck some leftover mashed potatoes in the freezer to use for shepherd’s pie. Super idea about the pies in general as they can be filled with anything I have on hand! Love it! And yes, yes, yes…on the eggs! Just made huge omelets the other day!

I had stocked the pantry and freezer beforehand and we bought almost no groceries for 2 months. (While we had donations as well, I still had to figure out how and with what to serve them.) We basically only bought milk and eggs. My recommendation is to choose recipes that are flexible as far as ingredients. I make tuna mac (stovetop tuna casserole) often, but you can vary it by adding peas, broccoli, or chopped spinach. I also make a lot of pies, either pot pie in a crust or shepherds pie with mashed potato topping, which will take any combination of veg. We like it with canned carrots, green beans, and peas, but use what you have. You can also do thus by making sure to buy eggs each week, if you like them. An omelet can contain anything!
