Buy 2 cans of vegetables if you must.</p> <p>I think your mini fridge should be OK with half a dozen of eggs, and some flat cheese. a small bottle of pasta sauce, peanut butter+jelly. For protein, you can buy some deli meat? Or spam, vienna sausage, and black beans.</p> <p>For your dinner meals:<br /> (1) egg, ham and cheese sandwich<br /> (2) Pasta with sauce, add some sandwich meat or spam?<br /> (3) Just repeat one of the above lol, or grill cheese, or PBJ</p> <p>I like your idea of campell tomato soup to go with your "main course" :)</p> <p>I didn't follow your story, but are you traveling with children? If not, why don't you just buy a few bowls of instant noodles and if you must, some spam and eggs, and you have at least 1-2 meals there ;-)</p> <p>Don't over buy though, because bottomline is, you are only doing 3 dinner meals really, and I know for me I tend to over buy as if I were going to be stranded in a deserted island for 2 months. I think you can totally wing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662249 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 23:53:45 +0000 youboots 2662249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm doing<br /> Spagetti<br /> Tacos<br /> Tomato soup and grilled cheese</p> <p>Thanks all.

Its SO good when its cold out. Just serve with hunks of French bread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662224 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:42:09 +0000 youboots 2662224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: Yum i'm going to make this at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662223 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:41:48 +0000 youboots 2662223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: Awesome thanks. We only really need 3 dinners since we will eat out at a nearby resort once and get delivery the other night. This just felt like a curveball a little. We may take inventory of the space then hit the grocery store the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662222 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:40:07 +0000 youboots 2662222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SLR: great idea on the tacos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662221 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:39:39 +0000 youboots 2662221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yes it will be freezing there so I think we can put it outside and hopefully no one will mess with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662219 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:38:55 +0000 youboots 2662219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SLR: there is a microwave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662208 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:11:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2662208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Frozen meatloaf </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662206 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 20:00:08 +0000 littlejoy 2662206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tacos (you can prep a lot of it ahead of time).<br /> Pasta<br /> Chili (crock pot)<br /> Hot dogs or burgers</p> <p>Breakfast ideas:<br /> egg/potato bowls (I know you like to bake your breakfast potatoes, but you can use the stove top)</p> <p>french toast w/ fruit</p> <p>bagel sandwiches (will you have a toaster?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662201 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 19:54:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2662201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you bring a big cooler? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662196 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 19:38:58 +0000 erinbaderin 2662196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omelettes, fajitas, breakfast-for-dinner, chorizo and sweet potato skillet (<a href="http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/06/chorizo-sweet-potato-skillet/" rel="nofollow">http://www.budgetbytes.com/2014/06/chorizo-sweet-potato-skillet/</a>) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662183 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 18:57:26 +0000 SLR 2662183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tacos, stir fry with rice, grilled cheese and soup, fish with green beans.</p> <p>Is there a microwave? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662182 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 18:48:03 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2662182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Black bean and sweet potato quesadillas! I just cube up a peeled sweet potato, sauté with some garlic and onions, add a can of black beans and some chili powder (or other spices) until the sweet potato is soft, then make quesadillas with the filling and some cheese. Add salsa and guacamole and serve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limited-kitchen-meal-ideas#post-2662181 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 18:40:48 +0000 youboots 2662181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we are staying at a resort but the restaurant is between owners and closed. So we are going to be cooking more than expected since we don't want to drive in heavy snow after dark. Another curve ball- we only have a mini fridge and 2 burner stove and no oven in the unit. We could bring a croc pot if needed. I'll take breakfast ideas but am mostly looking for stove top dinners with pantry or fresh mostly non refrigerated items.</p> <p>So far- Spaghetti.</p> <p>I don't eat chicken. </p>
