We call it "fend night". Basically whatever you can find in the fridge or freezer. Then there is "big breakfast night". That's is usually a planned meal.

As a pretty recent bachelor/widower, that’s EVERY night.
I always find something microwave, heat up, you know.
Haven’t gone to bed hungry yet.
I'm a big leftover & eggs guy...when it starts getting skinny in the fridge, it's a surprise scramble for the evening.
Food has gotten idiotic expensive.
With my son gone, the portions have gotten odd. A salmon filet used to be not enough, now it would be two meals. I definitely do the leftovers for lunch, and that helps. When a lunch easily gets to $20, fast, it is a money saver.
Hashbrowns- real hasbrowns, are a skill that I’ve never really mastered, not matter how long I go to WaffleHouse and watch…
I don’t waste food, so constantly, yes.
If you have time…..
Shred, rinse, lay potatoes out on dish towel and cover with a second dish towel to dry them.
Heat your butter up a good bit and run it through a coffee filter to clarify it.
Medium heat in a cast iron skillet put a shot of butter, then spuds. Let it sit there a few minutes and then butter the top and flip.
Want them crispier, make them thinner, want them little more meaty, make them thicker.
I don’t bust mine up in the pan, but if you want to be a rebel, go for it.
I can remember eating donuts covered in ketchup once, being young and broke is so much fun. Actually the young part was pretty good, the broke not so much.
But my favorite leftovers are 1/3 of a ribeye for breakfast with eggs.
Most meals are now like this for me. I’ve been pretty much on carnivore diet for last few months, so eating has been kinda simplified. And honestly, on carnivore I eat way less often…
My go to's are beef, bacon, eggs, pork chops, chicken, ham, and cheese.
So when I cook a 3 pound beef chuck steak, that’s 3-5 meals. I try to freeze 2 meals, set two in fridge. I cook a couple pounds of burger patties and end up with at least 4-5 patties leftover.
Some good sliced deli ham or turkey and swiss or provolone…three slices meat, 3 cheese is a meal.
A couple rotisserie chickens makes at least 3 meals and the carcass makes a big batch of chicken soup for at least 4 freezer servings.
Scrambled eggs and cheese are always an option. I always have boiled eggs ready.
When I cook bacon, i always cook 2 lbs of thick cut and the leftover gets split between freezer and fridge.
Im thinking of roasting a turkey soon, that will really fill the freezer…a pork butt will as well.
And while we often think of meat as expensive, it is a cheap way to eat when you take away all the extra stuff…and buy the sales.
I tried going plant based…it worked for a while but was always hard on my gut and always wanted to cheat. Tried KETO but kinda same…carnivore is so stupid easy.
