A power outage at my apartment complex last winter changed my whole pantry plan.

I was stuck with just canned beans, rice, and some spices for three days, but I made a dozen different meals from them. Has anyone else had to get creative with a very limited, basic stockpile?

Been there, a blackout really shows you what you can do with beans and rice.

Honestly, a good spice mix is a lifesaver in that spot. I mean, just changing up the seasoning makes the same beans and rice feel totally different. It got me through a long weekend once.

Nah, @kevinp56, that sounds miserable. Three days of just beans and rice? I'd just order takeout.
