This is a staple of my mom's and it's super simple, tasty and fast as long as you have canned clams in the pantry. Which I always do of course!

We have such wide weather swings in texas so..........I always have parbaked pizza crusts. I also always have frozen soup that can be thawed and reheated with either sandwiches on hand or herbed popobers (elegant but disgustingly easy). If I have more time theres roast checken and if i'm dead and ready to be carried out, theres french toast, sausage and fruit.

1.) Spicy green beans
2.) Spicy giardinera mix (carrots, cauliflower, celery, romanesco, and spicy birds-eye chilies)
3.) Dill cukes.

This was so easy... I can't wait to see how they turn out! Thank you!

The one I use for days when I'm in the house for a couple hours to cook but want to get something everyone loves on the table without work is Grandmaw Peacock's Chicken and Rice, from Scott Peacock & Edna Lewis's The Gift of Southern Cooking. I usually make it with some bay and thyme and celery seed instead of the celery, and I normally make it with just chicken thighs.

And my go-to unexpected company dinner -- I can make it, including the grocery run for whatever I'm missing, in one hour -- is a blanched asparagus salad with roasted red peppers and goat cheese, broiled tilapia with lemon and parsley, a rice pilaf, and a big Greek salad.

Oddly enough, many of my empty pantry meals involve marinated artichokes... one of the jars you always have?

My college default meal was grilled cheese and frozen peas.

You can add any veggies you have, doesn't take long, and keeps for days.

Usually there is something on hand for either one of those meals.
