I'm assuming you have staples like spices, salt, pepper, ketchup, mayo, mustard

Meals that could be made:

Meatloaf
Tacos in soft tortillas
Egg, a bit of onion, a bit of tomato, a bit of green pepper burritos
Home fries with potato, a bit of green pepper, a bit of onion
TexMex rice, wild rice mixed with can of diced tomatoes and can of chiles, 1/2 pound of turkey
Egg salad, boiled eggs, fried egg sandwiches, deviled eggs, omlets
Quiche with a wild rice crust

I'm sure you can think up other combinations.
