the cupboard is bare

What to do when hubby is out of town for two days, groceries badly need to be purchased, mama is exhausted, and toddler is hungry?

Improvise!

Tonight's dinner was a mish-mash of things pulled from the refrigerator - broccoli, zucchini, cheese, and a couple of veggie dogs. I sauteed the broccoli and zucchini in olive oil, then melted the cheese onto it and added a bit of salt and pepper, then heated the veggie dogs and wrapped them in rye bread for lack of buns. Voila! Our bellies were filled, the toddler was happy, and I didn't have to make a run to the grocery store with two grumpy children.
