Everyone is stocking up these days and getting ready for what may be some unexpected time at home. Before you head out to the market or pick up the phone to order in, stop and check your cupboards first.Bread (even the stale variety!), oatmeal, jarred tomatoes, a block of cheese—just a coupleof these pantry ingredientscan be enough to make a delightful dinner.
Next time you’re short on ingredients, turn to one of these eight different recipes. Then sit downtoenjoy a simple, humble meal, and relish the thought that you’ve managed to transform what seemed like nothing into something.
Garlic Soup
Sopa de ajo, a Castilian specialty,is famously restorative, but it’s actually made with little more thanstale bread, garlic cloves and water.
Cacio e Pepe
Cheese, pepper, pasta, butter: That’s all you need to make this Roman specialty.
Savory Oatmeal
Whileit’s usually relegated to breakfast, oatmeal shouldn’t be overlooked as a dinneroption. This recipe’s incredibly versatile: Swap the trout for canned tuna, or omit the fish altogether; drizzle the bowl with sesame oil and soy sauce in placeof olive oil;try stirring in shredded cheese of any kind.
Roasted Tomato Soup
This beloved recipe comes from Los Angeles chef Ray Garcia. If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, that’s no biggie; it would work usingcanned tomatoes, too.
Grilled Cheese
Soft, stretchycheese between two slices of bread: that’s all the proof in the world that sometimes the simplest foods in the world are the best. As long as you have a melting cheese and slices of any type of bread, grilled cheese can be in your future. (You can even make a version ofegg-in-a-hole sandwichesif you have a couple of eggs on hand.)
Vegetable-lentil soup is a classic. Make it using whatever variety of lentils you have on hand;any variety of canned tomato—stewed, diced, whole—would work, too.
Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cream
This comforting dish comes together with just fouringredients excluding seasonings: eggs, spinach, cream and butter. If you don’t have spinach, substituteany other leafy green, such as kale or chard, or even frozen spinach that’s been defrosted and drained.
Spaghetti Arrabbiata
Although this recipe calls for homemade fresh pasta, we’d also turn to it on a busy weeknight for the dried spaghetti we often keep on hand. Use boxed pasta of any variety to create an easy dish.

Tomato soup did the trick… well, it gave me enough of a recipe to make some variation. I’m glad I found this web page. I feel better now than I would’ve if I went out for fast food or something.
really not thought of before, thank you Williams …

I have no food in my apartment right now. Please come make those dishes. I want to see how this is accomplished. Teach a man to fish in a empty lake here!
Get out of the house and engage in some physical activity such as a brisk walk or sports. Exercise is a great way to reduce your hunger. Call a friend you haven't spoken to in a long time, or spend time doing a fun activity with your family. Read a book or a magazine, or try to focus on catching up on some work.
During the first 24 hours without food, as your glucose storage is depleted, your body will begin to convert glycogen from your liver and muscles into glucose. By the second day without food, your glucose and glycogen are depleted. Your body will begin to break down muscle tissue to provide energy.
It can generate recipe suggestions based on the ingredients you have on hand, and does that well. I asked it to create a recipe with the things I had in my fridge: chicken, rice, tomatoes, dill, and limes. Instantly it provided a recipe for a chicken and tomato rice bowl with dill lime dressing.
ChatGPT is a great tool for intermediate home cooks who know how to properly balance ingredients flavors and textures on their own, but want a little inspiration without the hassle of scouring the internet, old cookbooks or magazines for a new recipe. The dish was delicious, lacking only in more varied textures.
Another creative way to use leftover pizza is to make a pizza grilled cheese. Take two slices of pizza and add a slice of cheese in between. Grill the sandwich until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. You can have it for lunch or as a quick and easy dinner.
Eating one meal a day can increase your blood pressure and cholesterol. This occurred in a group of healthy adults who switched to one meal a day to participate in a study. If you already have concerns in either area, eating just once a day might not be safe. Eating one meal late can cause your blood sugar to spike.
With no food and no water, the maximum time the body can survive is thought to be about one week . With water only, but no food, survival time may extend up to 2 to 3 months. Over time, a severely restricted food intake can reduce the lifespan.
