Emergency hungry meal?

Misslove36

What is your emergency meal, when you get home, hungry, tired and gave nothing prepared in advance?

Chicken quesadilla usually. I keep cooked chicken in the freezer most of the time.

I almost always have precooked meals in the freezer like chili, soup or a pasta dish. So in a pinch that's the first place I go, the freezer.

How do you make these?

Can you cook ready cooked chicken straight from the freezer?

Avocado with salt & pepper.

Sandwich from the deli across the street if I have the cals to spare. Otherwise, I suck it up and cook my squash and ground turkey.

I soak it in lukewarm water for a bit to help thaw, or use the microwave if I'm super hungry.

I just get a tortilla, cut up the chicken, toss in some cheese and throw it in a frying pan. You don't even need to add butter or anything. Everything gets all melty and delicious.

Pasta, sandwiches, poptarts,cereal, hot dogs. because if im THAT hungry and it's THAT late, I don't give a damn about calories. I just want food and bed.

handful of trail mix while I stare at the fridge and figure out what to make for dinner

When I get In from work I always have an under 200 cal snack of a slice of white farmhouse bread toasted topped with either cottage cheese, avocado and tomato, or egg white scrambled with mushroom and with cheddar cheese topped with black pepper

seltzermint555

1-2 eggs, scrambled or boiled (if I have some prepared already).

Then I can think about other food without being all "must go get tacos & Snickers ice cream bars"

Yes, for me handful of nuts or olives and I can think rationally until dinner time.

I have never had these, they sound nice, where can I find a nice low calorie recipe please

Chicken and corn soup, with our without actual chicken. I keep homemade chicken stock in 500ml containers in the freezer. Thaw one in a saucepan with a can of creamed corn and a frozen chicken wing or two, or a thigh or a breast (if I have them). When it's simmering I add a raw egg and stir it through.

I'm not a big processed food eater but.....Trader Joes has a frozen meal that is Salmon with orzo, zucchini, and spinach in a yogurt mint sauce. It's only 350 calories, tastes great and cooks in 7 minutes in the microwave. I always have a couple of these in the freezer for those days that I need to have a meal quickly -- before I start shopping in my pantry .

Tea_Mistress

Micro porridge w/ almonds ^_^
