Fallback Meal?

Do you have a particular fallback meal for when nothing else is
occurring to you? Mine seems to be cooking roasted veggies
(usually red and yellow peppers, asparagus, broccoli and onion) in
a pan in some olive oil, adding eggs, which have been whisked with
a bit of cream or water, salt, and freshly ground pepper (and now
a bit of grated parmesan cheese and pesto too), and scrambling
them. Very yummy.

I am also into nuked cheese variations, but I can't eat cheese all
the time....

My "fall back" is not really a meal, but if nothing sounds good, then I'm
probably not really very hungry. What I do is keep a container of "dip" made
up in the fridge and eat it with celery sticks. I seem to need the crunch
and chew of the cellery. My favorite dip is:

4 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup (or as to taste) sour cream
1/4 cup chopped onion
bacon bits as desired
dash of hickory smoke flavor
Mix well, and chow down. Good with celery, also good rolled up in smoked
turkey.

If nothing else appeals at the time, leftover chicken chunks (I always
cook extra chicken) in a salad.

I always have a big bag of frozen veggie stir-fry from Sam's Club in the
fridge, and frozen shrimp. That's my default meal.

I do - it's chicken salad made with leftover chicken, mayo, diced
celery, and serve it over lettuce, sliced cucumber and a little diced
green onion.

OR, and this is my fav fall-back: scrambled eggs with a tablespoon or
two of cream cheese (whipped) stirred in just at the end, sprinkled with
pepper, salt, and a little dill.

I always keep one of those roasted chickens from the grocery store in
my refrigerator. You know, the ones that are already cooked, warm and
ready for you to take home? I take the meat off the bones and keep it
in Tupperware for those moments when I need a quick salad, meal, or
snack. I also have salad fixings right at hand so it's not a hassle
when I'm in a crunch. I'd love to hear more ideas, though.

Quick, easy, cheap, and on track with WOE ....

Steamed cabbage, good glurg of olive oil, chopped bacon.

Caution: use exactly one "glurg"

Cauliflour fauxtato soup with cheese and bacon, I keep a large batch of
mashed cauliflour handy. Brocolli and chicken soup ala creme!

Heavens, yes!

I use fallback meals all the time. My hubby doesn't lc and some of the
stuff he eats would put me in a coma (bg problems). I always keep the
following on hand:

frozen, cooked shrimp - thaw and eat with cocktail sauce (I use the
real thing sparingly), or make shrimp salad, or saute in carb-free
scampi sauce

cottage cheese - I happen to love it, and it makes a good side-dish to
replace the starch he's eating

Nathan's hotdogs - saute in skillet and have on low carb weiner roll
(Google for Irene's Health Bakery for the best I've found - I'm in
Ohio and buy them locally)

Eggs any style - depends on the amount of effort I want to make

Tonight is a good example. He wants pasta and its cooking now. I'll
probably fix myself some shrimp or French toast (Irene's Guten bread
soaked in egg with a little half-n-half, topped with cinnamon and
Walden Farm's no carb pancake syrup.

Enjoy
