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

    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?

    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.

    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

    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. :smile:

    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 .
