Robin Strathdee Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Hi all! We just finished up a TGIF dinner at my house (hot dogs, mini bell peppers,carrots) after a long and cranky week of sugar detox (mom and dad, not the kids) and I got to thinking- I have several "emergency" foods that I keep close by for those times when I just can't get it together to cook. Applegate farms uncured beef hot dogs (beef, salt, water and some spices) Premade hamburger patties Precooked chicken legs Raw veggies like carrots, peppers, etc. Salsa, guacamole and mayonnaise for dipping What are some foods you keep on hand for those times when dinner needs to happen NOW?

karrottop Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Frozen, deveined shrimp is a quick and easy source of protein:) It takes very little boiling time, then you can throw it in a salad stir fry, soup, anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyofthree Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Organic applegate farms roasted turkey or chicken and roast beef wrap in lettuce and add bacon and or avocado--my kids love these. Hard Boiled Eggs Egg muffins Apples, nut or seed butter, baby carrots and celery sticks, raisins Scrambled eggs and Applegate Farms breakfast sausage Veggie/Fruit smoothies made with coconut milk (could serve with the hotdogs) Paleo pancakes with sausage, eggs or fruits...I made a triple batch this morning of silver dollar size ones and now have some in the fridge and freezer I also keep a variety of organic frozen veggies in the freezer so I can warm on the stove and then top with duck fat or butter. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiaya Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Where do you all find the packaged Applegate Farms w30-approved meats? I looked at Whole Foods near us and couldn't find any that didn't have added sugar. Which ones specifically are okay for w30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 We've started really trying to get meals in the freezer that we can pull out for the five of us... last Sunday (it snowed, so was the perfect day) we cooked almost all day and ended up with two new meals in the freezer plus our dinner for that night. I joke about them being our "TV dinners" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyofthree Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Chiaya, Sorry I haven't been on--I should have said my kids are not Whole30--but I will have to go re=read the labels--I didn't think the roasted turkey, chicken and roast beef had sugars...now I am just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyD Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Every couple of months I make meatballs with veggies and sweet potato in them - a complete meal in each ball. I make a double batch and freeze them. They're just great to have around for my daughter. We also freeze egg muffins and those are great, portable snacks. She munches on them when we're at the park or the zoo. I'm really good about bulk cooking, so there seems to almost always be some kind of leftover in the fridge. Every time we BBQ, we cook meats and veggies until the coals are out, for instance. I also do large crock pot meals at least once a week. We have dinner emergencies a few nights a week because my husband and I share a car, so we'll get home at 7 or 8 at night sometimes starving to death!

LauraSuzy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 CaseyD - would you mind posting your meatball and egg muffin recipes? I'd love to give them a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 CaseyD, I would also love the meatball recipe. My 6yo daughter is the meatball make in our house, but I bet she'd be willing to try them with veggies in them. We typically keep on hand: HB eggs Ground meat-lamb is a favorite (kiddo loves it with garlic powder, salt, and a bit of crushed red pepper) Homemade granola (from elanaspantry.com) Tuna (canned- we just buy the big ones) We use to keep cooked turkey or chicken on hand, but we are having a hard time finding grain free and we don't tolerate meat that has been fed grains. We also have a variety of fruits and veggies on hand at all times. I love the idea of keeping shrimp on hand, I just need to learn to cook it without making it chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Oh, my daughter also loves avocados mixed with tomatoes as a snack. And seeing as we are currently at the tail end of some seriously hot days, I made her some freezer pops by blending coconut milk and frozen fruit. I just filled up the pop molds and now she has a tasty, and healthy treat ready for her when she starts to overheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
