What's for Dinner Mom?

May 22nd, 2006 at 04:15 pm

Hopefully you have it figured out by now. Most thrifty folks I know plan their menus and such with great care and precision. I decided to use up what is left in my kitchen freezer. So Pork is on the menu. What can you use up today?
So much food can be easily wasted. I had to throw some yougurt away and I was sick about it. I just hate to throw food away! What is lurking around that you can serve tonight?
Here are some things I HAVE LURKING--
5 pcs of left over pizza
1/2 can black beans
some tomato sauce in a can
small bowl of leftover pasta
browned and bagged ground beef
very, very ripe banannas

Time to get creative today and not waste food.

    the very ripe bananas can go into banana bread...or just put them with some milk and sugar in the blender for a delicious banana shake!

    the beans? Just add some corn tortillas and some grated cheese! yum!...or guacamole, if you like avocados (I don't!)

    I'd go with the banana bread, too. I'd make a casserole out of the beans, tomato sauce, pasta, and ground beef, adding more pasta if it wasn't enough for everyone...I often use up all the leftovers in our fridge by making a soup or casserole. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. My kids all know how to make a peanut butter sandwich just in case!

    You are both creative! I love to make things on the "fly"!
    my neighbor, her husband and two children will not eat leftovers!
    IS that kinda...well....strange? She often times brings them over to me. Some of it belongs in the trash....but most of it is very nice.
    What a terrible life lesson to teach our children...to waste!
    How sad----
