Staple Recipes is a full-stack web app designed to be a modern, no-frills take on a recipe site. It aims to provide an easy-to-navigate repository of recipes that can be made with standard kitchen tools, using a set list of common pantry staples and other ubiquitous ingredients. Ingredients and their nutrition facts come from the Food Data Central (FDC), and the nutrition facts of recipes are auto calculated based on their ingredients.
