Dinner ideas in a pinch

Some weeks I forget to take something out of the freezer for dinner or I don't plan for a night. What are some things you make when you have nothing in the house??!! Yesterday I threw a quick sauce together and had pasta. Today I'm scrambling again. I don't even know what I would order if I wanted to order out... No pizza or Chinese... What else is there??!!

Do you have a burger place near you? Seamless has become my best friend and we always order from a slider place or the diner more than I'd like to admit!

Re: Dinner ideas in a pinch

Breakfast for dinner is always my first go to
Pancakes
Omelettes w hash browns
French toast

big salads w/tuna melts (I always have lettuce and tuna in the house) or egg salad sandwiches

Meatloaf (I always have chopped meat in the freezer) it defrosts quick bc I freeze it flat in a ziplock

Quick spaghetti w meat sauce (using that chopped meat)


Ordering out:

You can order from a local diner. Some deliver but if not, you can pick it up. Everyone chooses whatever they are in the mood for

Greek - gyros, chicken kabobs , etc

Mexican - burritos etc

And the big chains have to go ordering too
Chilis, applebees, etc
