Nutrition Program! There are several resources online if you need to find new recipes or ideas with the pantry staples you have at home. My favorite is an app called Supercook.

Sometimes we look our pantry and we run out of ideas for recipes. I found this app called SuperCook that if you add which ingredients you have, it gives you all the possible recipes and their nutritious value. - Karina, HP intern
