As more of us will be at home for the coming weeks with potentially less ingredients. We need to keep our spirits up and stay healthy. I personally think that cooking and creating something delicious for yourself and your family is one of the best things to do when your feeling a bit anxious – I’ve always found it helpful anyway 😉 Luckily I’ve always loved cooking with wholesome and cost effective ingredients like pulses, rice, grains etc. So I think I can help… I’ve collated 30 of my favourites here for you! You’ll find my favourite; Lentil, bean, chickpea, oats, rice etc I really hope they are delicious and helpful.

[…] Lentils are actually one of my favourite ingredients as they are low in calories, rich in iron and an excellent source of protein, plus they can bulk out so many different types of dishes making them the ultimate store cupboard essential to stock up on (you can find out more about what store cupboard ingredients I think should be in your kitchen at all time, and what recipes you can create with them, on this blog post here) […]
