Sometimes you\u2019re in a pinch and just want something simple and easy. Having a stockpile of basic recipes you can go fall back on is great. Some recipes in my stockpile I constantly go back to are baked chicken, sauteed spinach, and baked potato wedges. The best thing about the chicken and potato wedges is they use the same spices and can be baked at the same time. These recipes are incredibly easy and at this point I can do them from memory. Feel free to include these recipes into your own stockpile and alter them to best fit you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make the baked
