What do you cook while waiting on homegoods?
I brought a skillet, large saucepan, and a cookie sheet with us in the car. I also have some prep stuff like a knife and a cutting board, but not much else. What kind of easy meals do you normally make while waiting for your stuff? Our shipment isn't supposed to get here until at least July 15th.

Oooh, stir fry sounds really good right now. Thanks for the ideas. I'm trying to be good and meal plan.
I had bought a whole set of pots and pans en route to Japan, so they were in my luggage
Yes, I preferred to be able to cook over having masses of clothing. And then our temporary lodging had a fully stocked kitchen, so that was a real bonus.
I was not so smart when moving back to Denver, so I really only had one small saucepan. I bought a few of the oven ready veggie lasagnas from Costco. Each made enough to last me a few meals. I do a lot of one pot stuff like yellow rice, add some frozen peas, top with tofu (which you can cook in the oven). Since it's summer and hot, you can do something like quinoa salad, so the only thing you cook is the quinoa, then you just add chopped fresh veggies and beans.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't think to bring mine. Thanks for the ideas. I'm putting together a list for a big commissary run
Canned soup, sandwiches especially since the weather is warm right now. If the skillet is deep enough pasta and sauce. With the cookie sheet, there's different things from the freezer section like chicken fingers, fish sticks and fries. Premade stuff from the grocery store deli and of course eating out. It's a nice time to get to know the area and it's restaurants.
