Basic 101: Pantry Items

Your pantry is the secret weapon of Pantry-to-Plate cooking—stock it with a handful of versatile staples (think grains, canned beans, aromatic spices, and shelf-stable condiments) and you’ll have endless meal possibilities at your fingertips. At 5ive Plates, we show you how to transform those everyday items—like a can of chickpeas, a jar of olives, or a bag of rice—into five different, crave-worthy dishes each week, from hearty salads and soups to quick pasta sauces and bowls. With quality, multipurpose goods on hand, you’ll save time, cut waste, and whip up fresh, seasonal meals that feel thoughtful and delicious, no grocery run required.
