I do have baking supplies. At least rudimentary ones since I baked for Christmas but my spice rack is lacking. Since the move I really haven't had money to stock up on everything I want. I usually just buy as needed.
We actually had cheeseburger pie for dinner the other night (there's still a helping in the fridge that I think I'll snag for dinner). It's become a standby for us using boxed mashed potatoes (which taste so much better than the ones I remember from when I was a kid...although it was very rare that my mom used them). It was the only thing I had all the ingredients for the other night. Problem is Meagan won't eat it for some reason even though she likes everything in it.
I just get really lost without cheese, milk and bread in the house. My dad keeps telling me to invest in some powdered milk for such occasions.
I do find it interesting the meals I come up with when we're down to bare bones. Combinations of stuff I would have never considered otherwise. It's kind of fun...until you run out of all your basics (like milk and butter).
I can't remember a single time when I was a kid when our cupboards were this bare. Our house was always fully stocked with food growing up.
