I just made four meals from leftovers! My weekend is free!!

I'm just soooo proud of myself! lmao!

I used up all the leftovers and now we eat again!

I won't have to cook again or go shopping until Monday! :woohoo:

The oven was used for two of the meals and now
it's nice and hot to make a cake and some cookies
and some datenut bread and corn muffins!

No reheating it!

So, I'm also saving energy!

I'm just so proud! :rofl:

1. Mission accomplised!

Now I'm starving!

The house smells great!

Let's see what's on the menu... from my 5 days ago, $35.00 groceries!

I made extra spaghetti sauce the other night and used it with some twisty pasta & homemade garlic bread.
I made enchilada's with sauce & cheese topping.
I made Shepard's pie with left over turkey & gravy and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes.
I have half a pot roast with onions, in the crock pot now, on low.
I had extra spaghetti sauce leftover for pizza dough which is now defrosting.
I made fresh baked corn muffins and also a loaf of datenut bread for breakfast
and a cake and some M&M cookies!

My work is done!! :rofl:

It's almost happy hour too!

2. How many are there in your family. I have just recently retired, and because of my limited income,

I'm trying to keep my food budget to $100 a month. There is just me to feed on that $100. Sounds like you're doing really good.

3. There are two of us.

My teenage son, the youngest of three sons and myself.
He eats like it's going out of style! :rofl:
I've learned to budget and stretch the food budget over the years.
Like the turkey breast. It was a full meal; then sandwiches and now a pot pie!
I bought a fairly large pot roast too, on sale.
The butcher at the grocery store ground up half of it into hamburger for me. ;)
I used the burger for burrito's the other night and added the rest to the spagehetti sauce.
And now we'll have pot roast for Sunday dinner and a pizza tomorrow afternoon!
If we fall short, which I doubt, I have canned white tuna and clam chowder and chicken soup on hand ;)
