Put any fruit you have (fresh, dried, canned, frozen) into quickbreads--I use the same basic recipe for everything from zucchini bread to papaya bread. It's an adaption of Paula Deen's zucchini recipe.
Put any veggies you have into some beaten egg to make anything from omelets to Spanish tortas/tortillas. Add cheese and herbs for variety.
If you have leftover bread, some egg and milk make an easy bread pudding/baked French toast, and mix-ins are easy.
Meats make easy casseroles/stir fries. My basic casserole starter is sauteed onions and garlic, then add the meat. From there, I add anything from chopped/canned tomatoes for a red sauce, Worcesteshire sauce for a cheater's brown sauce, or fish sauce or soy sauce for an Asian flavor. Add whatever veggies are around, and eat it as is, wrapped in lettuce for lettuce wraps or in spring roll wrappers, or over rice. For heartier versions, you can finish it off in the oven and top it with cheese.
Even veggie sides can be easy recipes--just play with your herbs.
Soups are easy, too--just whatever you have in a pot full of the appropriate stock/broth, or puree some steamed veggies and add some milk or cream to make creamy soups.
