Hey jag, just curious but how much is this "individual serving" bag? The ones I buy are probably made for more than one serving but I can eat a whole bag. I pay $1.99 at Berrytown in Ponchatoula.

I dunno...like a cup and a half. I buy a big box at Sam's.

OK, I don't have a quarter, but let my pint glass and my cell phone be your guide....these you just pierce the cover and nuke for a couple minutes. They are frozen. The whole thing is a bit too much for a serving for me alone.

You can go ahead and ignore my dirty glass table and floors, I'm sitting in the dark, til the camera flashed...it looked clean enough to me. LOL This is the dog's living room after all.

Oh, and I like to have green onions on hand...I love cebolitas. That's what I had tonight actually.

Oh lawd that is a single serving. My bag is about four of those at least and I ate almost all of it for dinner tonight. I was planning on having leftover Chinese but somebody got to it first.

I used to roast a chicken almost every Sunday to eat during the week. But I just can't be bothered anymore.

My go to food when I don't feel like cooking is pasta. I always have fresh pasta and I just cook it for about four minutes and toss it with whatever I want.....easiest dinner ever.

Sorry I haven't been around. Life is a bit crazy right now.

Missed y'all.

Fried shrimp. They only take a few minutes to prepare. A shrimp poboy only takes a minute more to prepare.

For me it's pasta and red sauce. I always have some at home. I also always have some form of tomato product with which to make sauce. It doesn't take more than 30 minutes to make a decent sauce. Add whatever else you want with the pasta and sauce and it's dinner. Easy.

Roasted peanuts and applesauce - I could live off the stuff if I had to.

I've always got between 7 and 10 kinds of cheese in the fridge and 4 kinds of mustard that I mix up to make a honey mustard spread - cheese, crackers, thinly sliced red onions, tomato slices - and it's a quick, light meal.

Soba noodles can always be found in my pantry, and I'll melt a bit of butter and brown sugar - stir in some garlic, oyster sauce, soy, fish sauce, and chili flakes. Top with chopped green onions. Very quick pasta - a tad sweet, a bit salty, and a touch of heat (spicy heat).

Fresh fruit of whatever kind the farmer's market has that week.

Edamame. Though I've never seen the individual serving boxes. I usually buy a large bag at the Asian Market on Williams.

Oh - and eggs. There are always eggs in the house and when I can think of nothing else and want a very quick, easy meal - we have eggs for dinner. My kids are kind of getting tired of that. oops.

Cheese.

Usually sharp cheddar melted on Triscuits with jalapeno peppers and a glass of skim milk in a frozen pint glass.

But any cheese will do.

I've taken to doing the "beer-can" chicken on Sundays. If I had realized how easy and good it comes out, I would have been doing it long ago. Chicken salad, soups, sandwiches, etc. Everything made with it comes out killer!

Not sure if you mean already cooked, or on hand to prepare?
Mostly for my son but myself also,

soy burgers, soy corndogs, hashbrown patties, fish sticks, organic eggs from free roaming no hormone chickens, whole grain bread, goldfish crackers, raisins, cereal, cheese, peanut butter, tuna fish to name some....
