This is one of those questions that's going to make us unmarried and childless folk look really pathetic. :P
Mine would be rice with Frank's sauce and ranch dressing. That's...um. Well. That's it. See, I have rice so I can pretend I'm being vaguely healthy instead of just having a giant bowl of starch, and then I make a tangy sauce and...
Don't judge me.
I was unmarried and childless when I was your age, so been there done that. And...I still do stuff like that, way more often than I should. My kids had PB & J tonight, in fact. :)
According to your list, everything I eat that someone else doesn't make for me is a "fall back meal." I go through my soup phases, my frozen dinner phases (Healthy Choice Steamers are AWESOME), and my mac and cheese phases.
If I happen to have leftover rice, I have some packets of instant ochazuke which is usually acceptable. I did choose cereal in the poll since that's always at hand, and has served as dinner as often as not.
Barring the rice, I often go with PB&J. Hey, peanut butter and bread together make a complete protein! Woo!
Cereal for me, esp. after a big previous meal (i.e. for dinner after a heavy lunch). Either that or crackers, lots of crackers - Ritz or Cheeze-It, typically.
Nothing on that list counts as a fallback meal for me. Cheese and crackers is a fallback meal. Or an Odwalla protein shake with a side of Doritos.
We probably eat frozen pizza once a week. Pretty good, well-doctored frozen pizza, but it's still a cop out.
I don't eat any of those things ever...I guess my fallback would be wasa and cheese.
Super Noodles, 5 mins from the pack to yummy goodness.
What??
I'll throw together an ad hoc seven (or fewer) layer dip with refried beans, cheese, chilis, guac or sour cream (if I have them), leftover meats...it's great refrigerator velcro. I'll eat it with chips or just a spoon.
I used to drum for them in the Eighties.Quote:

What? It's a stereotype for a reason.
We're an odd household, for Americans at least; we never have milk in the house unless artifex is specifically planning to bake something, but things like refried beans and canned chilis are absolute staples, the absence of which necessitates a trip to the store.Quote:
