Comfort foods are cooking up in kitchens all across the country these days, whether it’s creamy summer salads, scrumptious dips, juicy burgers or cheesy pizza. No matter which dish is most requested at your house, one of the key ingredients is likely a canned item, including tomatoes, beans, fish, various produce and so on. You can’t beat the convenience, simplicity, flavor, nutrition and price tag. My pantry is fully stocked with these gems and I use them to whip up so many beloved, soothing meals that can help ease stress and ignite a smile. Check out a few recipes I make regularly and have been enjoying with my crew lately.
