A salad with a handful of dried cranberries, cashews, crumbled blue cheese and homemade dressing which is always ready in the fridge. Its all about good, real dressing.
Super quick- a can of cold V8 juice and a baby bel.0 -
Scrambled eggs with whatever I have in the fridge (ham, sausage, cheese, peppers, spinach etc)
Frozen grilled chicken (I always keep some) with frozen veggies.
Quesadillas (with just cheese, or beans and cheese)
Oatmeal
Yes! Whatever veggies I have in the fridge scrambled with eggs. Thanks to all who made this suggestion.
I woke up too early today (4:45 am). I had no eggs in the fridge so I ate a bowl of cereal with milk. I've been off grains for a while. Bad idea. Somehow the cereal really messed up my appetite. I stayed ravenously hungry all morning long and I ended up pigging out on a double cheeseburger for lunch. From now on: I will always keep eggs in the fridge and no cereal on the pantry.0 -
What ingredients do you always have in your fridge that you turn to when you have nothing else to eat? Something healthy preferably!
Oatmeal -- I'm recently on a Coco-Oats kick... cook oats with milk and cocoa until done and finish with a swirl of peanut butter if desired.
Eggs. However you want to eat them with whatever you want to eat them with.
Tuna with oil and vinegar, fresh veggies and pasta (hot or cold).
And I ALWAYS keep homemade frozen soup in the freezer. I never put pasta in it until I'm about to eat it though so I'll cook up some of that while the soup is reheating from frozen. Though I don't always use pasta.
Finally, plain yogurt (usually Greek, but not always) and cereal.0 -
Toasted Dave's Killer bread of any name smeared with peanut butter. Dave's Killer bread is regional, so I also get to feel special and exclusive.0

In a skillet:
-1/2 burger
-1/2 Chopped onion, 1/2 green pepper, 1/2 chilli pepper, whatever else sounds good.
-Seasoned with "Slap ya Mama" and garlic.
-2 fried eggs over easy and placed on top of the skillet.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^and even better since he makes it for me!0 -
A big bowl of spinach with 2 poached eggs and a sprinkle of Kirkland precooked bacon. I poach the eggs in a bowl of hot water in my microwave on high for 1 minute
Sounds so yummy. I love the Kirkland pre-cooked bacon. Awesome.0 -

egg white omelette .
its not only egg whites , i put 4 egg whites and one full egg then throw in various veggies i have in my fridge and left over meats cook that in coconut oil and add some srirracha on top
its sooo yummy0 -
I almost always have whole wheat pasta in my house, extra virgin olive oil, and some sort of veggie - either frozen, canned, or fresh - I make the pasta and season it pretty spicy, then pour some warmed olive oil over it - then throw the veggies in - it's a nice little carb load if you need some quick food - or if you have some deli meat in your fridge I've added that before to give me a protein kick w/ the illusion of pasta - you could even throw an egg or two in and give it a little fried pasta kind of flavor - endless possibility w/ whole wheat pasta, veggie, olive oil, and egg....0

Egg's most definitely! Usually I like my over easy (fried with some EVOO). Or any piece of fruit....grapefruit, bananas, and raspberries are my favorite.0

My quickest GO TO Meals:
1. Boiled eggs (1 or 2)
2. Turkey Bacon (2-4 strips microwaved)
3. Yogurt and Almonds.
I keep them at home and in the fridge at work.
My office loves when its snack time, bacon smells so good.0 -
I make instant chicken and veggie soup. I always have cut up raw veggies, boiled chicken, and Swanson's Chicken and/or Veggie broth in my fridge. If I don't have left overs, I will steam the veggies real quick, toss them in a bowl with broth and chicken and heat it up. Boom. Food. I usually have broccoli or spinach in the soup.0

Apples and peanut butter0
