What can I make with what little food I have?!
What can I make for dinner for 3 people?
I have canned veggies, stove top stuffing, boxed potato flakes, lipton sides (rices, and alfredo noodle type things), ramen noodles, cooking oil, butter, eggs, milk, oatmeal, tuna, canned tomatoes...basic pantry items.
Any suggestions on what I can MAKE?
Please nothing like "Go out to eat." I don't have access to my car yet!
Help me, please :)

Oh I used to love it when my mom would make us "Breakfast for dinner"!!
You could make some omelets or scramble the eggs and serve it with the oatmeal and milk to drink! Might not be the most "exciting" list of ingredients to choose from-hey we have all been there, I know I have-but you can add some fun to the meal by making it seem a bit naughty because you're not supposed to have breakfast for dinner, or so they say anyway!
You could even build it up, like, say (if anyone in the family of 3 is a kid) "Shh.... don't tell anyone I am letting you do this. But tonight I decided to make you.... BREAKFAST for dinner! Don't get used to it, this is just a special treat" if you wanted to.
May be a silly idea but hope it might be of help or some kind of inspiration to you!
You should feel good about being creative and wanting to provide a meal for your family whatever it turns out to be. Just have fun with it and they will too! Especially if you let them help do something to prepare.

PS-I'm surprised OJ has zero best answers. Don't feed the troll your delicious dinner!

You can mix some tuna in with your Alfredo noodles and have peas or other canned veggies on the side.
You can make vegetable soup with your tomatoes and other veggies.
You can make scrambled eggs or an omelet. If you have sugar you can make custard.
If you have flour, sugar and baking powder you can make a lot of things: muffins, pancakes, cookies, etc.
You can make egg salad if you have mayo or Miracle Whip. If you have mustard and mayo you can make deviled eggs. You actually have ingredients to make homemade mayonnaise.
You can make potato pancakes.
You can mix drained peas in with one of your rice side dishes and add some scrambled eggs, which would be like fried rice.
Use Google and put in some ingredients that you think might work together and add "recipe." You will find lots of ideas.
OJ is a lonely Internet bum!
Make pasta or tuna casserole. Or make tuna balls with eggs. You just season the tuna and covered it in a egg mixture and fry it. You can use rice as a sides and some veggies.
Make some tuna burgers? Drain the tuna, add the stuffing mix, an egg, some spices maybe some of those veggies and form into burgers and fry them in a little oil, and serve with mashed potatoes? I dunno... good luck though!
If you have peanut butter and chocolate powder you can make no bake cookies ytou may need a few other things too v . v sorry that is the only thing I can think of http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/no-bake-co…
