Ingredients challenge -- what would you make?

You have 2 hot dogs, cabbage, rice, potatoes, carrots, cheese, apples, 2 previously frozen eggs, fresh raspberries, and milk (dairy and soy), plus usual baking and seasoning ingredients. What would you make with this to feed 4 adults?

Just so you know, we have lots of other foods, but need to use some foods sooner than later. I'm curious how others would see my ingredients. Leave your suggestions in the comments, please.

We're continuing to make great progress on eating down the freezer. This past week I pulled out a couple of containers of stock, a container of 6 beaten eggs, a container of crab applesauce, more pumpkin/squash seeds, a large container of blackberries, chopped celery leaves, beef fat, bacon fat, a container of ham chunks in stock, assorted frozen vegetables, ice cream/sorbet, and various bread products. We need to work quickly this week, as we're now beginning to freeze raspberries. 

I'm really exercising my kitchen creativity right now.

  1. The first dish I would make with your items is fried rice using some of your frozen bacon fat to cook one hotdog, cabbage, carrot, and any greens lingering in the garden, along with frying the rice and adding soy sauce, etc. I would use your homemade bread to make grilled cheese sandwiches with sauteed apple slices in them for another dish, fresh raspberries with milk and sugar as a side. Last, I'd make a quiche with the remaining hotdog fried in more bacon fat, the eggs (maybe crack open a couple more eggs, some reserved cheese, fried potatoes, milk, a few greens from the garden, and sprinkle herbs and spices on top and bake.
