You can’t beat the convenience of dinner in a bag. I measure dry noodles and a mixture of spices into separate plastic bags, then store them in a paper bag with canned stewed tomatoes. This “pantry kit” gives me a head start on a hearty meal. Since I work late occasionally, my family just browns the ground beef, and soon dinner is simmering. —Darlene Brenden, Salem Oregon
