Ever looked into your pantry and wondered what to do with the items you have in it? There is an easy and fun solution to the problem.
Join Chef Crystal Graber, nutrition center manager at Northern Illinois Food Bank, on Tuesday, Sept. 18, at noon for a look at how you can turn common pantry items into a meal that can be recreated at home. Those in attendance will walk away with recipes in-hand and a chance sample the dish.
