How to meal plan with all this craziness

If you are having trouble following a meal plan recently you are not alone. You are going to have to make adjustments based on the ingredients you have on hand or can buy.

Try to find recipes that are easy to adjust based on the ingredients you have one hand. If you are missing an ingredient for a favorite recipe try to find a substitution.

Or just leave the ingredient out if you don't have it. This will work well for some recipes.

Other recipes that you are missing the main ingredient will have to be saved for a later time.

Homemade Bread

Basic food items like bread are hard to come by. You can make homemade bread if you have flour, some type of dairy or even water, sugar, butter, and yeast.

If you can't find yeast you can make a natural yeast with flour and water called sourdough starter.

I show you how to make your own natural yeast in my How To Make Sourdough Starter recipe.

If you have yeast you can make this easy homemade bread recipe that is easy to slice for sandwiches.
