idnib Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 omelets or brown some ground beef, throw in a jar of marinara sauce, add whatever random veggies like green beans, peas, cauliflower, carrots, onions, etc. Serve w bread if you eat it (we don't). or canned salmon, mix with eggs and spices, fry up salmon patties. For number of eggs use number of cans of salmon minus one, usually. Let the mixture site for 15 minutes after mixing; it takes the egg awhile to soak in.

frugalmama Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I keep stuff on hand for quick meals - normally frozen chinese that I can toss in the over quickly while I make rice, or canned chicken and I make chicken helper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBasil Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I try to keep a frozen pizza or frozen cheese tortellini in the freezer for this. Otherwise homemade pizza, breakfast, quick beef stroganoff(I use ground beef and cream of whatever soups. ;)), quesadillas, tacos, or nachos.

Tap Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 our standby is tacos any meat, just about any beans rice tomatoes, lettuce, peppers....or not :) depends on what is on hand cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 On days like that (either left a day open on the meal plan or look at the meal plan and decide it is too much work that night) I fix omelets or maybe heat up some soup from the freezer and make some salad.

wintermom Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 we had a pasta dish for lunch today and I am sitting here trying to think of what sounds good for supper and I am coming up empty...any good thoughts for me?? I'm a loser in situations like this. In the summer, it's hotdogs for the kids and hamburgers or sausages for dh and I. Add in veggies and there's dinner. Fall and winter are harder, though I've been known to encourage dh outside to BBQ! :D Hey, I just saw the suggestion of breakfast food. That works like a charm here, too!

MrsBasil Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 If I have chicken that is cooked or can be easily poached or shredded I sometimes do this. 1 can black beans 1 can Rotel(or less for spice) 1 can corn 1 package ranch dressing mix 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp onion powder 1 tbs chili powder. Mix in pot, cook until heated, add cooked chicken, and then 1 8 oz brick cream cheese(can use light!) and stir until melted and everything is combined. It's easy and quick. Everyone likes it, even the baby. It was originally meant to be a slow cooker recipe, but I have no luck with this and have thrown it together in under 30 minutes if I have cooked chicken on hand. Longer, but largely hands off if I have to cook and shred some chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is a dumb question. what if I have everything but the Rotel...what can I substitute?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBasil Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) do you just eat this then...or is it more of a chip dip or something to put on bread?? Sorry if this is a dumb question. We just eat it with a spoon out of a bowl, but I bet it would be good on chips. http://www.plainchicken.com/2012/01/slow-cooker-cream-cheese-chicken-chili.html It's not dumb at all, here's a link with a pic. I got the recipe here, but ours looks a little thicker usually. Last couple of times, I used half a can of Rotel due to spice. Rotel is just canned tomatoes and green chilis, you could add canned tomatoes and a little something for heat if needed, salsa(it would be thinner), or just omit them. It doesn't, IMO, make the recipe, if you know what I mean. It's expendable. Edited September 9, 2012 by MrsBasil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trilliums Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sandwiches If I have tortillas and left overs, deluxe quesadillas. This means heating up a tortilla in a skillet and piling on cheese, chicken chunks, salsa, maybe sour cream and avocado if we have it. Baked potatoes Cobb salad Noodles with sautéed veggies and shrimp ( frzen raw deveined shrimp added to pan of veggies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I tell dd17 it's her turn to make dinner ;) Serious answer-----veggie omelets if there's nothing I can pull out of the freezer (homemade chili to top baked potatoes, homemade meatballs etc) We don't buy many prepared foods due to food allergies.

Deniseibase Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Pasta with broccoli and cheese Scrambled egg burritos w/ cheese & salsa Egg drop soup w/ fish, soy sauce, and whatever bits of veggies are available (you cook the fish in the soup, so I keep tilapia or shrimp on hand in the freezer for this) If I have more time but just no inspiration, I throw canned beans & rice together in the rice cooker with whatever seasonings sound good, try Mexican or Indian flavors, sometimes throw in a can of tomatoes, sometimes make toppings to throw on at the end like olives, cheese, green onions.
