Non-refrigerated AND Non-cooked meals! HELP!!!!!

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

My house is having electrical problems. Basically half of my house keeps losing power. The problem is with an electrical box that is outside and out of my control. An electrician hired by the landlord is working on it, but I continue to have probs.

 

Anyway I need to feed my kids. The kitchen ulitities do not work with the exception of the light bulb. I'm scared to plug in the fridge or micro somewhere else because the heat is working just fine and I don't want to risk over that half of the house. I need meals that do not require refridgeration or cooking. I am out of money so eating out isn't an option.  

 

Please help! 

 

Thanks,

 

Kara

tuna sandwiches (canned tuna mixed w/olive oil & some seasonings) on bread or crackers

guacamole (mashed avocado mixed with seasonings - can even buy guac seasoning mix packets) & tortilla chips

canned baked beans are decent right out of the can

applesauce & a lot of other foods come in individual serving packages that don't need to be refrigerated

apples & peanut butter

 

I hope some of that helps!  And I hope your power comes back soon.

peanut butter and whatever sandwiches- you can slice fresh fruit to put on it if you don't want jelly.

fresh fruit or fresh vegetables- salad, dipped in hummus or peanut butter, veggie sandwich

bean burritoes

nuts, rice cakes, sunflower seeds, dry cereal, dried fruit, beef jerky

crackers

canned meat, canned beans or vegetables

canned soup or stew

 

Here is an old thread with tips-

Do you have a grill? Maybe you could cook outside.
