. He made beef tacos, bean burritos and sliced apple. A little odd maybe but we didn't eat out, he used up pantry taco shells, beans and salsa and a package of ever so slightly freezer burned beef. 
Just went through the pantry, freezer, and fridge.
Came up with forty-six meals I can make!
(Being as I'm one person, I count a meal as an individual meal serving - so one dish that is four servings counts as four.)
Yet this does not include many items I haven't figured out how to develop into meals, such as: Polish sausage, bratwurst, hot dogs, beef for stewing, rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, ham steak, meatballs, sauces & seasonings, baked beans, cranberry sauce, canned chili, frozen tomatoes, phyllo, and something I think is a pumpkin.
It sure feels good to have it all written up on the list!
I am all for going on. I want to have room for, I don't know, ice maybe? in my freezer
!I see tons of ideas from your list. Put the hot dogs into the beans and call it beanie weenie night, Take any of the meats, sausage, ham, bratwurst and pair it with the mash potatoes. I used to go to a sandwich place that would put cranberry sauce onto their turkey sandwiches. Take your meatballs and tomatoes and make chunky meatball subs or cut up the meatballs and the tomatoes, add to to the pasta along with some cheese and call it Baked Ziti Rustica. You can eat for months.
Is the pumpkin pureed? If you take the pureed pumpkin, add it to two eggs and a little cinnamon, dip bread into it and cook it like french toast. Makes the moistest pumpkin flavored french toast ever! Yumm.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm thinking I might make a beef stew - I have beef, carrots, onions, beef bullion, mashed potatoes.
I also like the idea of putting the hot dogs into the baked beans. I honestly don't think I've ever done that before! I have heard of it, though, just never tried it.
The pumpkin (or gourd?) is fresh and whole - it's like a small, orange pumpkin/gourd/squash. It came in my produce box a few weeks ago and I never really found out what it was. I'm just hoping there are seeds inside I can roast!
I do hope it's a pumpkin so I can make that French toast! If I make my own pumpkin puree, do I roast it/cook it first?
Breakfast: Toast, Cereal (from pantry)
Lunch: Creamy Chicken Rice (from freezer)
Dinner: Roasted Potatoes with Sour Cream and Lumpfish Roe, Cheese & Crackers
Am planning on making a "Monday Night Special" breakfast casserole tonight for the next few breakfasts as well as Cauliflower/Broccoli Cheddar Soup. I love taking soup in my thermos for lunch!
. I measure out enough for my recipe such as french toast and than I just take that out in the AM and mix it with my eggs. That way nothing goes to waste, especially when you're cooking for one.
