This is casual recipe that I grew up with which can be made with meatless, with meat or even canned tuna. It was a common dish for us on Fridays or when cash was a little low.

Frank Strona, our west coast creator and online educator, reminds us that sometimes it’s normal that we get tired of the heavy meals that the winter brings us.

Grandma Jackson’s Rum Cake; My Grandma Jackson was known about the community for her cornbread and her cakes. She would happily share either one with you, but she would never give you the recipe.

Before I moved to the Fort Smith, Arkansas area, Joey always cooked special foods for me when I visited, which was at least once a month. His tacos were one of my very favorite meals. It still is!

@JustLikeGranny wraps day 5 with another winter sweet finish with her Granny’s Fried Apples.

Feeding our little four-legged pals on a budget

Few things are more comforting than a good, hot creamy chicken casserole. For day 5, Tiktok’s @JustLikeGranny took us home with the belly filling and heart warming dish.

Butter Cake for Day 4 of the our FoodTokTV Food Pantry Challange from Tiktok’s own @Cooking_with_Caz

This recipe uses sausages traditionally - but since I had hotdogs to use and some “precooked bacon in the cabinet - that’s what I went with I got creative for Day 4 of the Food Pantry Challenge

This fruit cocktail cake is literally the first cake I ever made. My mother handed me a cookbook, which I still have to this day, with the ingredients and told me to follow the recipe.

Old Fashioned Apple Fritters Really.. what more needs to be said…. @JustLikeGranny shared a Food Pantry Challenge sweet treat today that has us all here at #FoodTokTV mouths watering.

Some days, we need a dish that all that needs to be said is “it’s how my momma taught me to do them.” 😍 Momma’s Fried Taters W/ Onions & SPAM for the Food PantyChallengee

Frank decided to take on the added challenge for his third dish of the Food Pantry Challenge, by creating a recipe that would feed 4 adult men, with only the basics of 1lb of ground beef, some potatoes, zucchini, onions, and whatever he had handy at the house. Let the games begin!

FoodTokTV’s @Cooking_with_Caz bring us Yakamein (“an order of noodles”) for today’s #FoodPantryChallenge recipe.

While we recognize that during times of food insecurity and scarcity, many people won’t have the recommended three meals per day. But for some, whose dietary and health needs are impacted, eating on regular basis is important. Ashton shared with us some additional recipes she is using for Day 2 of the Food Pantry Challenge.

This was one of my childhood favorite meals and it's coming up on 3 years since my Dad's passing so I wanted to be sure I did a recipe that highlighted him during #FoodtokTV #PantryFoodChallenge Day 2

This one of my favorite ways to make eggs. So it was fitting I use it as my meal #2 of the Food Pantry Challenge. Not only is it fast; with just 2 -3 eggs I can feed three people based on the leftovers I add.
