Go to www.allrecipes.com. There is a section on the site called "Ingredients Search." Type in four main things you have in the house and it will tell you recipes that use those thing... it may show you recipes that use more than those 4 things though... but you're bound to find something!
Here is the actual link for that area of the website:

Hard to answer without knowing what food you do have... Here's a site that you can tell what you have at home at the moment and it will give you recipes. (Little tip, don't tick the "Ifeel lucky tab")

Bay and Lemon Brined Turkey Recipe
1 (12 to 15-pound) turkey
For the brine:
2 gallons water
1 cup sugar
1 cup kosher salt
2 lemons, sliced in 1/2
4 bay leaves
3 cinnamon sticks
Small handful cloves
Combine all brine ingredients in a container or pot large enough to hold the turkey. Make sure all the sugar and salt have been fully dissolved. Add the turkey and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove turkey from brine and transfer to a roasting pan with a rack. Stuff turkey with the lemon halves, bay leaves, and cinnamon sticks used in the brine. Cook turkey for about 3 1/2 hours, basting every 40 minutes or so. If any part of the turkey gets too brown towards the end of cooking, shield with pieces of tin foil. When the turkey is done, juices should run clear from the breast and the legs should pull away from the bird easily. Remove from the heat and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving

How about some breakfast foods for dinner like pancakes,sausage, and eggs.
You did not tell us what you did have in the house....but we all have a can of soup of some kind,and make some toast.And maybe you have some fruit.If not scrambled eggs,toast and cookies.Or French toast.Last but not least pasta.
Almost everyone has the ingredients for spaghetti in their house. Have your guests pick up some garlic bread, and a bottle of wine.
