Easy Meals With Little INgredients

March 16th, 2020. Most jobs are working from home or closed. Students are being taught through online classes. The streets seem to be empty. With everyone home, cooking is the only way most of us are eating with limited services to ordering out and restaurants. But I love cooking and often prefer it! Most of us have stocked up, with our pantry's nearly exploding. I compiled some of my favorite recipes, that don't (have to) include fresh produce, if that isn't something you stocked up on. 

All of these recipes are meals you can make with little ingredients, that are still filled with nutrients, healthy and exciting. Most of these, can also be found in my cook book, Cooking With Fi just with different variations. Being kept home, doesn't mean you have to eat boring meals. You can spice it up with a only a few ingredients. Check out 10 of them below!
