How to Make 5 Meals With Just 10 Ingredients

I love being adventurous in the kitchen and when I’m low on food, I have to get creative to feed my family of five.  Sometimes it comes out great and I’ve discovered a new meal to add to my repertoire and other times it’s a horrible disaster. 

On the Today show, they listed the following kitchen staples: lemons, mayo, olive/peanut/sesame oil, butter, rice, pasta, onions, red pepper flakes, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, parmesan cheese and dried herbs.  Of course, this is just a basic list of items that you should have on hand.  If you wanted to make a specific dish, you would need to get those supplies.

For the set of meals prepared during the segment, they needed:  bacon, chicken breast, Udon noodles, bread, shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, ginger and spinach.  The dishes they made included a delicious looking “bacon, spinach, bread crumb pasta.”  I seriously want to make that tonight!
