Bare Cupboards Don't Mean Empty Stomach...

What to cook!? Open the fridge ... hmmmm nothing prepared. About 2 servings of rice pilaf. Half a gallon of milk, condiments galore and 2 cases of "pop".  Im a Pittsburgh-native so I just cant bring myself to say soda on a regular basis .... The freezer holds 3 bags of grounded meats, a frozen cheesecake, frozen fish fillets, a small lasagna  and chicken breasts. In the pantry is something I like to call box-luck. I started that term after having so many leftover boxes of rice or stuffing or anything that was supposed to accompany another meal but for one reason or another it was spared usage and now I have a box of Tuna Helper and no tuna but I digress. Why should today be any different? Why should it be any easier today to orchestrate life? Its not so I composed a smooth melodic meal structured by a symphony of cheesy scalloped potatoes, meatloaf and rice (remember the pilaf?) Learn how I did it with limited ingredients and a little imagination!!
