This week has been filled with food. Starting last Sunday(Christmas Eve), my family has a huge dinner with BBQ shoulder. Left-overs are divided up, because we don’t like food waste. Christmas morning, I made country ham biscuits and orange cinnamon rolls, because only the five of us at home ate, we had left-overs. We also had a huge meal for Christmas dinner, again left-overs.\u00a0 As you can guess my refrigerators were full to the brim.\u00a0 I am proud to say that we have managed to use most of these left-overs up this week with a little creativity.<\/p>\n
Tuesday and Wednesday we ate straight left-overs, one evening we all ate pork and the second evening it was turkey.\u00a0 Lunch were a combination of left-overs or make a left-over sandwich\/wrap.<\/p>\n
Thursday, the little kids, Mom and myself spent the day shopping. We treated ourselves to lunch at Chick A Filet.\u00a0 I grabbed a rotisserie chicken, I add the “cold\/salad” left-overs and it was an awesome meal.<\/p>\n
Friday was my Mom’s birthday and she requested hamburger steaks, sweet potatoes and\u00a0 salad. I was very glad that we used our\u00a0 fresh salad, cucumbers and tomatoes.\u00a0 Matt decided to venture out and made “bbq pizza” using crescent rolls and pork. He again realized that we need to eat up our food.<\/p>\n
Saturday morning, I cooked the remaining piece of country ham, some eggs and toast.\u00a0 For lunch, I used the remaining turkey to make Turkey corn chowder<\/a>, this was a huge hit and I will use for lunch at least one day. For dinner, we make chicken and cheese quesadillas from our left-over chicken.<\/p>\n Sunday, I made baked potato soup, this included the remaining pre-cooked bacon that we purchased for Christmas dinner. Again, I planned to use for at least one lunch this week. Dinner – sandwiches using left-over buns, chicken, pork or pepperoni. The pepperoni was in the top of my closet so I needed to use as well.<\/p>\n Today, we had sandwiches again for lunch. For dinner, I used the remaining BBQ dip with our last pack of Beef ribs and pulled out all the remaining leftover sides.<\/p>\n We are down to left over stuffing, macaroni and cheese and green bean casserole. I plan to use soups at work a couple of days! I will definitely call this a win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week has been filled with food.
