HELP: inexpensive recipes not requiring a fridge?

For the second time in 6 weeks our fridge (less than one year old, and thankfully within warranty) has broken.  Aside from the cost of ruined food both times this has happened it's incredibly boring living on pasta or supermarket salad/sandwich deals until the fridge engineer can come out! (warranty thing paid for by Samsung)

Anyone have any non-pasta recommendations for recipes not requiring ingredients stored in a fridge?  Most grateful for any and all suggestions - we're not fussy eaters so will give anything a go 

I do bean chilli and rice.

Rice self explanatory.

Chilli is easy going in terms of ingredients but off the top of my head;

Onion
Pepper (can leave it in the fruit bowl or just leave it out the recipe if you want)
Tin of sweetcorn
Tin of beans or 5 beans
Tin of tomatoes
Chilli powder
Worcestershire sauce
Beef oxo cube

If using tinned tomatoes always add a little sugar and a small ‘sloosh’ of vinegar to the pan. Taste before and afterwards to see what a difference it makes.

That's an excellent tip, thank you

The lentil soup recipe at the top of this page is basically an onion, some garlic cloves, some red lentils, a tin of tomatoes and a tin of coconut milk.  Yotam Ottolenghi’s lentil recipes | Food | The Guardian I can vouch for it being delicious.

This looks fab - all I'd need to pick up is coconut milk, will definitely give this a whirl, thank you @goldfinches
