Our "default" dinner recipe that we make when we've got almost nothing in the house is a BLT with a cup of soup and a piece of fruit. I make a lot of soup from scratch so there's usually something in the freezer, but I'm not above opening up a can of Campbell's. ;) As a matter of fact we're having this meal tonight (didn't get around to shopping today..) Thanks for your suggestions, too.

Things I must have on hand: green and red bell pepper, white onion, tomato, baby carrots, spices.

I have so much food in the house, I could cook for a week. My must haves, not necessary in order. Potatoes, Rice and Pasta. Canned Fish, Baked Beans, Tomatoes and Vegetables. Eggs, Cheese and Bread. Fresh and Frozen Vegetables.
