Pulled out some deli meat from the fridge… and honestly, this is how some of the best meals are born 😄
You know those moments when you open the fridge, not really sure what you’re looking for, and then boom — a pack of deli meat just stares back at you like “trust me, we can make something great”? That was exactly me today. No fancy plan, no complicated recipe, just a little hunger and a lot of creativity.
I feel like deli meat is one of the most underrated fridge staples ever. It’s quick, versatile, and can turn into a full meal in minutes if you let your imagination run a bit. Sandwich? Obviously. But then your mind starts racing… grilled with cheese, rolled up with a little mustard, tossed into an omelet, layered on toast, or even chopped up and thrown into a quick skillet meal. Simple ingredients really do the most sometimes.
What I love most is how comforting it feels. It reminds me of those “make it work with what you have” days, when you didn’t need a grocery run to eat something good. Just open the fridge, grab a few basics, and suddenly you’ve got a meal that hits the spot. No stress, no waste, just good food made easy.
Honestly, these are the kinds of meals that surprise you the most. Nothing fancy, nothing over-the-top — just quick, satisfying, and exactly what you needed at that moment. Sometimes the best dishes aren’t planned at all… they just happen when you pull something simple out of the fridge and let it shine.
What would you make first with some deli meat? Sandwich, skillet, wrap, or snack it straight from the fridge? 👀🥪
