We love Baked Oatmeal, and it’s a great way to use up a good few cups of rolled oats. Recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-oatmeal-ii/detail.aspx
Some folks serve it like cereal, but I like to eat it like cake.
We’re pretty poor, so our cabinets are already clear.
Interesting… I should try something like that. Maybe with some added real strawberries (or at least frozen) because of the cloying gloppiness of the canned strawberry filling. Or some other fruit.
Last night: vegetable soup: used up existing canned tomatoes and a cabbage, existing barley though I had to buy more, everything else new.
Right now, Moon Unit is making pumpkin cookies with a can of pumpkin we had on hand, some of the flour (obviously), and some chocolate chips I’d bought for a recipe that I never made.
Tacos last night for Tbone’s birthday! Used up ground beef from freezer, everything else was in the fridge except taco shells. I got them for 36 cents a box because there was a $1-off coupon on the box!
Tonight was tortellini and leftover birthday cake. Tomorrow…vegan succotash! Except maybe I’ll add meat. 
I was about to offer that the cranberries would take care of some of the cloying-ness of the pie filling, but then I realized you had cranberry sauce instead of dried cranberries. Oops.
What about something like this for the pie filling: Semi-Homemade Cherry Cake Recipe
And this for the cranberry sauce: http://cookeatshare.com/recipes/cocktail-weiner-sauce-121969
Both sound kind of gross, but I can attest that they’re pretty good.
Gradually doing smoothies to use up some of the frozen fruit.
Tonight, probably goulash with frozen peppers and canned tomatoes.
I opened the small freezer today and nothing fell out on my head! 
The succotash–which I have decided is more of a Cajun beans and rice dish anyway–turned out well, but there is a LOT of it. I may freeze some to use later in other dishes. Luckily there’s a little space in the freezer now…
I’m cooking up my previously-mentioned previously-thawed chicken breasts with the dregs of a jar of teriyaki sauce for tonight’s dinner, and stir-frying some veggies of questionable freshness to go with it over some rice. Success!
I’m hoping that in a few days we’ll have cleared out some space in one of the freezers.
Tonight we’ll have the ravioli and pesto because I don’t feel like cooking much.
Leftovers tonight…I added the 1 c of taco meat to about 1 cup of yesterdays bean mix (from the spicy succotash), mixed in some salsa and a little more taco seasoning, and tadah! burrito time! They were good…better than the original meals, I think.
Where did I get so many burrito wraps? and why do I have so many bags of frozen peas? It’s odd how things stack up around here.
if they are the raw kind…monkey bread! quarter thawed rolls, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. pile in a bread pan, rise and bake. I think it would be good with italian sesoning and parmesean cheese and other savory combos.
If they are brown and serve I got nothing.
They’re the brown and serve. But you can’t go wrong with butter, cinnamon, and sugar…if I slather them thickly enough they’ll become dessert!
I just googled “uses for old bread” and got quite a few hits. In addition to the default bread pudding (which I find to be a delicious use!!), here are a few:
I wonder how they’d be made into croutons?
And from here, where they suggest feeding it to the birds:
:D.
I should try to make croutons. I buy a certain kind for snacking–New York style? something like that–for snacking. I always have a lot of pretty solid, chunky, artisan type bread which would probably work well for that kind of thing. Maybe I’ll fiddle around with it this weekend and use up some of my aging bread supply!
For the rolls, you could do a savory bread pudding.
I love this one, but it’s a bit of work and a gazillion calories:
Actually we’ve done the dump-cake thing before so I know that’d be OK. And the wieners: I’ve heard of similar things involving grape jelly so I’d bet that would be good as well.
Someone else posted a link to baked oatmeal and I’ve actually made something like that before. That would help me use up the brown sugar and raisins as well. I might try that with a bit of canned pumpkin (though we’ve already used up our can, so I’d have to buy more, LOL).
I should do some baked oatmeal, part to eat now, and part to freeze.
Tomorrow’s birthday party for kidlet number one should use up the spanakopita and a lot of the broccoli. I’ll make broccoli cheese soup. I baked bread yesterday, and will make the birthday cake tomorrow.
I think tonight will be chicken nuggets and fries. We have a big bag of fries in the freezer.
My eldercare client has been sick, so I think I’ll make Pioneer Woman Italian Chicken Soup for him, or something close to it. I have some veggies and definitely plenty of chicken…
The Weeping Princess has a birthday celebration coming up and has requested chicken strips and macaroni and cheese. (Technically, perhaps I suggested the menu and she just agreed, but still.) I have everything I need, and found a decorated cake at the food pantry last night, so I parked it outside in the freezing weather (no room in freezer for it) until Sunday night.
I cleaned out the fridge yesterday, so have a better idea of what I’ve got inthere. Lots of eggs, quite a few veggies, lots of cheese (quiche in our future, I think). Lunch meats! Collards!Milk and yogurt! If I didn’t enjoy cooking so much, we could snack-and-sandwich our meals for quite awhile…
