Really, you can cook up anything and serve it for a couple of days if you keep the fridge shut.
I have lost power about 3x since moving to VA, the worst for 8 and 9 days respectively. We started eating out in places that did have power because I needed to recharge my electronics. The first time we were also out of water for 2 days, which really sucked. I filled up both bathtubs and that's what we used for everything except drinking.
