A bagel and some fruit.

Tuesday is tacos, Wednesday will be grilled cheese with tomato soup and Thursday will be spaghetti.

I could prepare meals for the next several weeks with what is on hand, dependent on how many people I'm feeding.

Pasta bowl using chopped tomatoes and onion.

Saucisson Wellington in a well-aged unami sauce. Fine-sliced crispy potato cutlets paired with a smooth onion emulsion!

Tonight is leftover night.

Chicken in Red Thai Curry sauce over rice that I made this past weekend.

I have some leftover burger patties and chicken from a couple days ago so I plan to have some leftovers. But I keep a well stocked freezer and dry pantry too. Right now what I am working on making is chicken pot pie filling, the chicken meat and broth is from a leftover slow long cooked Costco chicken. I make the filling and freeze it, and keep crusts in the fridge most of the time so it's really easy to assemble.

Maultaschen with broccoli and cheese sauce, ergo yesterday's leftovers.

Lemon Chicken w/ Black Beans and Rice or some other canned vegetable if I'm out of beans

I've always got self preserved vegetables and fruits. I would likely make a quick roux and then turn it into vegetable soup. Throw some kind of pasta in there.

I've got steak, salmon, sole, chicken nuggets, tater tots, burger patties, hamburger, pork tenderloin and 2 chickens in the freezer.

A 10 pound bag of potatoes which can be cook several ways.

Tons of canned goods, rice, mac n cheese (white variety).

If I'm feeling lazy - peanut butter sandwiches.

I could list off all the combos but it's time to make dinner.

Yesterday we made quesadillas with gluten-free tortillas, kimchi, thinly sliced fried spam, and smoked cheese. All stuff we happened to have in our pantry. This was better than it had any right to be.

I can also make vegitarian maki (sushi), spam musubi, or korean gimbap with a bit more prep work. We also always have Korean sides (pickled radish, cucumber, and more) on hand to throw together healthy meals fast.

If push comes to shove, I can just thaw some ground beef out, season it up, and throw it on rice.

If I'm feeling really lazy: peanut butter straight out of the jar. Don't @ me.

Disclaimer: I can't eat wheat, so my whole diet got up and (mostly) moved to Southeast Asia to compensate.

That's the main way I cook because I'm usually not good enough of a planner to buy groceries with a plan in mind for more than maybe 1 or 2 meals. So we are always stocked up pretty well for what little space we have in our flat.

I can make pretty basic burritos. Alfredo sauce with pasta. Basic caesar salad. Cookies. Budget chicken noodle soup.
