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.

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

Beans and rice, we always have beans and rice. Today I also have sauerkraut, kielbasa and pierogi so I can make exactly what is planned.

But at any time, can make beans & rice of some sort.

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

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.

Rice, corn, beans, fried chicken and half an onion.

Depression pasta… Again.

Tonight is leftover night.

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

You’re in luck, I went grocery shopping las saturday so I have options.

I could make some version of rissotto alla milanese, there’s also pasta and I could probably improvise a decent tomato sauce.

But since It is for dinner I would go with “bocata de lomo con queso”, that a quick internet search tells me that in English would be a pork loin with cheese sub.
The bread opened lengthwise, slightly toasted. Garlic and tomato rubbed on the inside, since I don’t have rubbing tomatoes I would improvise with diluting some concentrated tomato paste, olive oil and salt. Then pork tenderloin, cheese and glazed onions. And oregano.

Tonight, I made some fried chicken tenders from frozen fillets that I thawed, cleaned a bit, and then marinated in spiced rice wine vinegar. I used a simple cornstarch to egg dredge, and an all-purpose/rice flour breading with a shit ton of spices:

• MSG
• Table salt
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• White chili powder
• Freshly ground white and black pepper
• Dried chives
• Sage
• Cilantro, garlic, lime salt mix
• Baking powder for the crispies
• Don’t forget to drip some egg into the breading for extra crunchiness!

Used an 8-inch pan and peanut oil for the frying.

Whole thing took about half an hour, and I was happier than a pig in slop

Pasta bowl using chopped tomatoes and onion.

I can make a number of things, depending if I have time to thaw chicken or not. Otherwise it’ll be potato curry. With chicken it becomes…chicken curry (with potatoes and onions). Or I could bake some bread? Or we have cold cuts, so sandwiches. Or pasta, we have pasta sauce and noodles somewhere!

Frozen pizza a’la Aldi

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.

Fish fragrant eggplant

Mapo tofu

Dumpling soup

Chicken veggie stir fry

Fondant potatoes (fried in duck fat mmmm)

Beef bourguingon (or whatever it’s called, the wine meat stew)

Black bean soup

French onion soup

Ropa vieja (with chicken)

I could go on but that’s what comes to mind quickly.
