Add curry, cumin, coriander and if you like it hot, some chillies.
Add a tin of mixed veggies.
Some raisins, chutney if you want.
Heap ladles full on a boat-load of rice ... and slice some bananas on top.
Coconut milk adds exotic taste.

I make a bunch of crepes - separate them in groups of 4 with wax paper between each, and place between 2 paper plates and then a zip lock bag.They freeze well. When in a hurry, I take them from the freezer (takes baout 10-20 min to soften) place a slice of boiled ham, slice of cheese, roll up and heat in oven for 15 min. While in oven I mix Mayo, honey,and mustard to taste, and a splash of Lea and Perrins (can't spell the "W" word) as a sauce to place on top when out of oven. Had this last night and placed asparagus on the cheese before I rolled up. I always have a frozen fruit salad (done in muffin cups) so I take them out as crepes are baking. There you have it!

Ok, may sound a bit unhealthy but this is for those times you describe, so here goes.
I always keep canned chicken or canned beef on the pantry shelf, frozen mixed veges in the freezer and potatoes in our house are a stable.
Open a can of beef, cut open a bag and wash some taters, put it all in a skillet and call it stew.
For the chicken, add some frozen broccli, pasta of some sort, maybe a can of creamed soup and a little cheese if you have it and wallah~~~
DINNER IS SERVED--BON APPETIT'

when i make pork chops i buy the family pack so i brown a few on booth sides and freeze for hawaiiian pork chops. then when i need them i put them in a pan with pineapple, green peppers sliced up, 1/4 c. apple vinagar,1/2 c. ketchup, 1 tbsp soy or teriyaki sauce,3 tbsp brown sugar cook on 325 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. or put it all in crock pot for 4-6 hours. then i go back to sewing or whatever. 30 min before serving put the rice in the rice cooker and let it go. sometime will call dh to bring home some rice from china king takeout on his way home. good and easy.
