I think we're having a "crazy dinner" tonight, as I have lots of partial bags of thing like pizza bites, taquitos, egg rolls, etc. None of them have enough in the package for dinner on their own, but if I cook them all, there's enough things to give people something to eat. I also have a lot of partial bags of frozen fruit and a few packages of yogurt. Maybe I'll make smoothies too.
Anyone else do things like this for dinner?
Probably not as crazy as this one but we had dinners where you use potato crisps as "side dish" for something (ie beef salad, pasta) if there's not enough servings for two. What I usually do is to use a "substitute" ingredient depends on what I have inside the fridge. Say, if the original ingredient calls for a different veg but I only have cabbage (they are always SOOOOO BIIIIG), I will use that instead of buying the veg for the dish.
