Pantry Power-Up

November 13, 2025

The Enid Public Library will host a Pantry Power-Up pop-up-event at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, designed to help community members make the most of what might already be in their kitchen ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The hands-on workshop will focus on transforming simple pantry items such as beans, rice and canned goods into budget-friendly meals. Participants will learn easy meal-planning strategies, cooking tips, and ways to stretch their budget at the grocery store.

Attendees can also sample recipes, take home recipe cards, and enter for a chance to win a meal kit during the event.

Recipes include Turkey or Chicken Dinner in a Bag, Thick and Creamy Corn Chowder, 5-Can Chili, Creamy Chicken and Dumplings, and Cheese Chicken and Rice Soup

The adult event is free and open to the public with no registration needed. For more information, contact the library at 580-234-6313, email publiclibrary@enid.org, or visit enid.okpls.org.
