When you just move into a house, you come up with meals using whatever you have on hand. In my case, I had a ton of freezer vegetables and lots of pantry items that were ready and available. However, while we were doing the big painting and kitchen renovations, we ordered take out almost every night.

And it’s not like I don’t love the option of no cooking and no dishes, but ordering out gets old after a while. Sometimes you just want to make things the way you like them prepared.

In came this curry.

We’ve been making Lauren’s Bang Bang Chicken for a while now, but I decided to adapt her sauce and make it into this vegetarian clean-out-your-pantry dish. Perfect for new homeowners!

It was a quick meal to whip up and so delicious! It was slightly spicy, sweet and creamy, all in one! Plus, there are loads of vegetables throughout the dish, perfect for added nutrition!

Happy Cleaning Out Your Pantry!
