My sister's $3 bean soup made me question my whole meal prep routine
My sister came over last Tuesday and threw together a pot of beans, onions, and a bag of frozen corn from her pantry. Cost her maybe $3 total and it fed us for two days, honestly tasted better than the $45 of chicken and veg I'd prepped that Sunday. She said she never plans meals, just keeps staples around and cooks whatever she has, and that hit different because I've been stressing over weekly meal prep for years. It's got me wondering if we're all overcomplicating budget cooking, or if her way works because she's single and I'm feeding a family of four. Has anyone else tried ditching the meal plan and just winging it with pantry staples?
