Anyone ever have a "whatever I can find at home tonight" dinner?
Something in the freezer, fridge, or pantry. Piece it together. Have had a can of tuna or leftover taco meat with mac-n-cheese or Hamburger Helper many times.
Wife is working tonight so I invoked the question in the OP......what can I find?
Found some Oscar Meyer Angus dogs in the freezer. A can of hot dog chili (and a Ramen as a side) in the cupboard. Two leftover brioche buns from last weekend. Viola! Supper!
Gotta ask, do most of you eat leftovers? I was raised that you don't waste food (the old "starving kid in Africa" spiel Mom would give). Wife and I freeze leftover meat or veggies of any decent amount, comes in handy later on. Had a small Omaha Steaks prime rib roast the other night, it was 3.5lbs. We ate what we could without being gluttons, so that left a good deal to freeze. Was thinking of maybe taking some out this weekend and cutting it relatively thin (while it is half-frozen so it is easier to cut) to make prime rib Phillies or Italian beef sandwiches.

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.
