Great video! I have lots of leftover turkey meals coming up, and today I used my leftover cranberry sauce to make a Cranberry Chicken freezer meal. (I also make my own Catalina dressing for that recipe, to save money.) It feels so good to use things up!
cool
Hi Mindy, Happy New Years! I have a 21lbs ham I will be cooking soon with plenty of different sides to stretch out my grocery shopping trip now.
We have a set leftover night every Thursday, as trash runs Friday morning.
The kids love it, hubby does too & Mom sneaks off for an early bath 💚
@SMM I got a kick out of it when you mentioned an ‘Everything must go night’ dinner… 🙋🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
Mindy I got the call today. I am as of today 100% cancer free! I can’t thank you enough for your love, prayers and support through this. I have to give so much glory to God for blessing me with supportive people in my life, a knowledgeable medical team and for giving me the strength to fight through this. I know He has a plan for me and I know whatever it is He has planned is going to be beautiful. I still am not sure what that plan is but I know He will reveal all in His time. Right now I think all He wants is for me to rest, heal from the surgery and also heal my soul.
Great ideas! Thank you!
Groceries are just far TOO expensive now to be throwing things away (guilty of this myself many times in the past) The less than impressive looking grape tomatoes that are sitting in my fridge right now are going to be sliced up tomorrow, tossed with Italian seasoning and SLOWLY oven dried on some parchment…250 degrees for 2-3 hours or so until they have that dehydrated look to them. Place in a jar, cover with Olive oil & VOILA….”sun dried” tomatoes to toss with pasta etc 🤩😎 YUMMY! Thanks for sharing all your great tips/tricks Mindy – Happy New Year!❤️
Taco salad…yes!
I love using leftovers to recreate another meal & for leftover nights we call it modge podge dinner lol; thanks for sharing your recipes & great ideas!
I SOOO need to work on using up leftovers, and partially full things too. I find produce is my biggest challenge, using lettuce up before it goes beyond using. I really liked this video because you gave me some really great ideas to use some of what I have on hand up! Thank you so much!
I just scored on a 8.010 lb ham for $3.92 and an 7.230 lb ham for $3.54 . Also got a whole Roaster Chicken for $11.81.. Thanks to your advice, I have been more mindful on my grocery shopping trips.
Can you do a video how to cut recipes in half…I live alone and struggle how to cut recipes in half
One meal for the rest of my life: it would have to be a filet, baked potato and a salad 😅
I love to make hash when i have meats and odd veggies. I used leftover ham and potatoes i needed to use and made hash. Added random leftover veggies and cooked some sunny side up eggs to go with it!! so yum!!
Happy New Year!! Your videos always help me.
I made turkey ala king with leftover smoked Turkey from Christmas Eve. Same recipe as chicken ala king
I appreciate you talking about snack options! I’m doing a pantry challenge and one of the things I’m focusing on are snacks! I’m hoping to make it more of a habit to make grab and go snacks for my kids!
I actually put it on my weekly ‘to do’ list to eat certain items that are reaching their prime 😂 This week I needed to finish a cucumber and some buffalo chicken dip, as well as eat a salad I had purchased on clearance at Kroger. I need a reminder to eat those things so I don’t wind up wasting food/money just because I may overlook them in the fridge.
I don’t even plan for 7 dinners a week anymore. I found even using leftovers for lunches, I still was over planning. Most recipes were going 2 nites. For the most part I only plan 4-5 dinners a week. If I cook double and freeze half, I’ve got next months meals planned too. I’ve cut our food budget drastically last year. Enuf that I’ve reduced our food budget for this year even with higher prices.
Not everybody's plate has to look exactly the same is a great way to look at it. Using up good, leftover food that someone will enjoy just makes sense. We call it "buffet night" at our house. I think it makes everybody, especially kids, feel like they get to make choices. Happy New Year!
Love your leopard sweatshirt & your nails 💅🏻
Great video as always 😉
Happy new year!! From my Tulsa family to yours! ❤
Tacos. I love Tacos 🌮
The next time you make a grilled cheese sandwich, try adding a thin slice of tomato with a pinch of Italian seasoning before placing it in the pan! Yum!
