Recipes from Today’s Show: Easy Pantry Recipes

Published by

TODAY on MHTV: When there’s “nothing in the house to eat,” I turn to my pantry. With some pantry staples, meals can be put on the table in minutes, no take out or grocery shopping needed — and that’s what this meal is all about. A few cans of tuna and tomatoes make this excellent pasta dish that comes together in minutes. My tomato, avocado, and cilantro salad makes for a quick side, and my busy-day chocolate cake couldn’t be simpler — it’s mixed, baked, frosted, and served all in the same pan! More from the show.

    For the ‘Tuna Tomato Pasta’ the recipe states 2 cans of tomatoes (no size given) but on the show Lucinda only uses 1 large can. Can you please tell me which is correct?

    TIA

    I love all of your recipes, BUT, I can not eat bell peppers, I don’t like raw onions or fresh tomato. I know I should learn to like but at 67 years old I don’t want to. How about some recipes that can be adjusted for us that can’t or don’t like all foods??
    Thank you,
    Ruthe
