If you had to make a meal, just out of what you have on hand, what would it be? What's your go-to meal that you really like and always have on hand? (This is in light of Liz's upcoming assignment for Enrichment).
Mine would be chili or veggie/barley soup. Both things my family loves and things I always have on hand. Chili can be with or without meat, a can each of dark and light kidney and northern beans, 15oz can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes (sometimes I use the chili seasoned kind if they were on sale and I usually run these quickly through the magic bullet), season and top with cheese. Add biscuits from scratch and you've got a meal. The veggie/barley soup is just cans of whatever veggies I have, chicken broth or bullion and a cup of barley. I'll add carrots from the fridge but everything else is usually from cans. Rolls or biscuits for this meal as well.
So post your favorite. Maybe it will give Liz some ideas. She has to get her ward excited about food storage:))

I always have spaghetti sauce and chicken soup in the freeze and carrot ginger soup. I just have to add extra broth and noodles. Those are the first that come to mind.
--Pasta and sauce (white or red)
--Soup of any variety can have meat or none
--Tacos or Enchilada Casserole ( http://creatingfromscratch.blogspot.com/2008/10/enchilada-casserole.html )
--Breakfast
--Gunge (Rice, hamburger or chicken and peas mixed together & top with soy sauce)
This is my go to so I usually don't have these on my menu since they tend to be my substitutes. :)
What a great idea for Enrichment, I'd love to hear what recipes are presented.
Homemade Pizza - If your toppings are canned items (mushrooms, olives, pineapple...) then the only perishable item is the cheese (which I always have in the freezer)
Spaghetti
Taco Soup - all the ingredients but the hamburger come from cans
Waffles - I have a recipe that uses whole wheat grain (not flour). If you use powdered eggs (which I do) and powdered milk (which I don't) then all the ingredients are food storage items. (The oil would have the shortest life span)
Sounds fun. Like Natalie, I would love to know the outcome.
