With more people cooking at home, many have struggled to prepare certain pantry staples. Meatless Monday surveyed social media followers to see which pantry items they had on hand that they didn’t know how to cook. The top three vote-getters were: canned kidney beans, canned corn, and quinoa, which beat out other options such as oatmeal, potatoes, and tomato sauce.
