Emergency Backup Plan!

It's that time of the day!! What's for lunch? What's for dinner?  Do you have a back up plan? I always keep frozen mixed veggies, corn and peas. Also a box of quick barley, and cans of tomatoes on hand. Why do I keep these stocked? To make barley soup!  There is a recipe on the back of the Quaker box. (with my alterations) I throw it all in a pot and in no time...have Veggie Barley Soup!
What's your back up plan???
