What is your 'go to' food?

What do you try to keep on hand for when you don't have time or feel like making a meal? I try to keep milk (it satisfies my dessert craving) on hand. And green tea noodle soup from the Hong Kong Market, it's a great meal to me.

I like to roast a chicken on Sundays as well, so that I have food all week. It's easy and there are so many ways to flavour/marinade the chicken.

So, what's usually in your fridge/pantry?

Hummus, pita bread, olives and cheeses. Also, cooked chicken tenders for inclusion in dinner Caesars, or diced up for chicken salad.

As an ol' bachelor I don't keep much food in the house. Whenever I go to Radosta's or Sammy's Live Oak Deli I get extra stuff to keep around for midnight snacks and such. There's half a roast beef poboy in the fridge I may have for lunch today.

JAG--

I am huge fan of the roast chicken. I'll buy one if I do a substantial grocery shoppping and if I decide to cook one, I'll do two. Usuually using the second for the sickest chicken salad sandwiches ever.

I generally keep peanut butter and jelly on hand. I love snacking on anchovies, olives and prosciutto. And sometimes in the winter, I'll open a can of spaghetti-o's.

Interesting topic jag,

Frozen edamame, cheese & tomatoes are usually in my fridge. I love spaghetti-o's sometimes too. I add lots of black pepper and asiago or parmesan cheese.

I keep frozen egg rolls from Sam's at all times. It's a guilty pleasure.

I just made a big batch of hummus and a roasted chicken.

Mrs Fury, I have the individual packets of edamame from Sam's on hand too.
