Food insecurity currently affects a growing number of households in the United States, specifically in low income communities. Food pantries have long served as food assistance for this population, however there is a need for more didactic resources. Along with actual food, education interventions can help improve the low food self-efficacy, or perception of the ability to successfully feed oneself, among the food insecure. A potential response to low self-efficacy is to improve food literacy, which is defined as the knowledge, skills, and behaviors "...that empower individuals, households, communities and nations to protect diet quality through change and strengthen dietary resilience" (Vidgen & Gallegos, 2014). The purpose of this project was to develop a Food Pantry Cookbook, with two distinct but connected purposes. The overall purpose of this cookbook, One Pantry Meals, is to empower people utilizing food pantries through the development of increased food literacy by introducing healthy food preparation, planning and management skills, along with tasty recipes utilizing foods commonly found in food pantries.
