Well… I sauted some onion and garlic, seasoned a three pound “log” of ground beef and tossed that in and cooked it the. A few tins of diced tomatoes, a 28 ounce of crushed, kidney beans, can of tomato juice, some water/stock/dried beans And a box of pasta. Plus you know. Seasoning. Some corn meal. I’m still good on chili leftovers for a week.
Did make a dent in the canned tomatoes. But I’ve still got a few quarts of frozen sauece I made and pasta drop spaghetti too. So. Eh.
Peanut butter popcorn.
Melt a tablespoon of peanut butter and maybe add a tablespoon or two of butter. Drizzle over popcorn. Add salt.
Better than eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.
probably one of three items on the list - Spaghetti, cereal (if we have milk), or take out. My SAHD husband has been going back to school so he’s been super busy. We haven’t fully transitioned duties or figured out how we’re handling dinner so we’ve been doing take out way too often
depends how out of stuff we’re talking, and whether my not going to the grocery store has to do with not wanting to leave the house or not wanting/being able to do anything at all.
if it’s the latter, takeout. if it’s the former, depending on what we have, the usual scrap dinner options are:
-grilled or cold sandwiches + chips
-breakfast for dinner
-enchiladas/rolled tacos
I have a giant freezer in the garage stocked with meat from Costco and local butcher; enough to last another year at least. Wild caught Salmon, Mahi Mahi, Chicken breast, Pork loins, Porter House Steaks, Filet Mignon, Hamburger, Sausage, Bison, Venison…more. Not to mention every vegetable that can be frozen and potato dishes premade and frozen. The booze pantry is full too. Scotch, Vodka, Gin, Brandy, Kahlua…more, with mixers for most cocktails. The wine cellar is fully stocked as well. And, the garage fridge is full of beers of every variety to suit anyone’s taste.
The Pandemic really slowed my roll on entertaining and having friends over for dinner. I am overstocked!
Say, maybe when this is all over everyone can come over and party! Please RSVP.
@chienfou Sounds good but, you really don’t need to bring anything. If you do though, get a bag of those On the Border Cafe Style tortilla chips. And, bring your swim wear, and your own towel. I’m not sure I have enough for everyone. See you soon!
Chicken wings. I’ll pull up out of the big bag in the freezer and throw them in the air fryer until they are at 165. Then I’ll add some butter and Franks in equal portions and add a little dark brown sugar and Reaper sauce to toss them in.
Unless I’ve been avoiding the grocery store for more than 6-7 weeks, I’d just head to the basement for something from the freezer and/or basement shelves. I’d even have fresh bread (wheat, corn or rye) if I wanted to bother.
Speaking of grits/polenta (yum!), I’ve got about 45 pounds of a 50 pound bucket left (got it to make a corn whisky about five years ago and still (get it?) haven’t gotten around to it).
Fried ‘loney (not bologna) sammiches!
HOLY CRAP I STILL HAVE A RIBEYE I NEED TO COOK!
Two words PASTA DROP!!!
@tinamarie1974 My thoughts exactly!
My wife will probably make pasta. I made a grilled cheese with tomatoes for lunch today (I mean Thursday).
Breakfast… eggs, bacon, Spam, or whatever kind of meat I’ve got, grits and/or toast. Easy, fast, cheap, on hand.
@Tadlem43
Mmmm. Grits.
/giphy hot grits
@OldCatLady Giphy says hello.
/image George Takei Eau my
@Tadlem43 Yeah, we keep chickens so there’s pretty much always eggs available in times of an otherwise empty pantry/frig.
Grocery delivery is a thing now, you know!
Pasta & Stroopwafels of course!
Soup or fried rice.

Macaroni and cheese? Canned soup? If I haven’t been to the store, I won’t have bread or milk for sandwiches or cereal.
Cheesy rice and veggies casserole. I buy a LOT of cheese because it’s so oooh good!
@AuntMean67 Cheesy rice with lots of bacon bits and sauteed diced onions
Beans salsa cheese etc on tortillas. Or nachos.
Am I the only one who keeps an emergency jar of peanut butter?
@Euniceandrich I have two…but no bread. I guess I could bake some?
Peanut butter popcorn.
Melt a tablespoon of peanut butter and maybe add a tablespoon or two of butter. Drizzle over popcorn. Add salt.
Better than eating peanut butter straight out of the jar.
@Euniceandrich I’ve never tried that but, I will now!
Soup, made with whatever is left over.
With a can of tomatoes, I can throw together a nice marinara, which I did the other night.

@accelerator
Sounds good to me. I’ll bring chips…

Leftovers, probably, if I got 'em.
