Listen -it's cold. Very cold! Like 8 degrees or something like that. Brr...we are going to have that leftover stew and a grilled cheese today. Warm Hearty food. I love leftovers! Don't you? They are the best thing since sliced bread (what my Mom used to say).
4 Great Reason to Love Leftovers
1. You don't have to worry what's for dinner! That's all that needs to be said.
2. No waste! They say in America food is our #1 source of waste in our landfills.
3. Saves electricity! It will just take a few minutes to reheat saving the cost of electricity for your stove.
4. Less mess! There still will be dishes but you won't have any big pots to wash.
5. Saves money! You won't be putting good food in the garbage so grocery bills will be lower with less food going to waste.
If you jazz it up and make it new with side dishes or put it in a new dish, there are no cons. They are perfect in my books!
Here is what I plan to put on the table this week:
Monday Hamburger stew leftovers and grilled cheese
Tuesday Fresh Hamburgers on a low carb bun
Wednesday Smoked Pork Chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
Thursday Leftovers
Friday Stuffed green peppers and baked sweet potatoes (we didn't have this last week)
Saturday Homemade Pizza
Sunday Lasagna (made with zuchinni slices)
What's going to be on your table this next week?

Winter came again for us yesterday with about 8 inches of heavy, wet snow. It's amazing how bright this makes our world around here. No flashlight needed at night here!
This picture was taken yesterday morning when I heard the newsman say we had only received an inch. I knew it was more than that and had to prove it to myself (and the world on Facebook). That young whippersnapper! We received at least a couple more inches after this picture was taken.
.
I made a hamburger stew to help us stay warm after we cleared off the snow. Well, after he cleared the snow with his plow. I tried to shovel the patio but determined it was heart attack snow and ran inside. I did help clear off the cars though so I wasn't totally useless, ha ha.
We received a coupon for a free pizza in the mail from Hungry Howie's for his birthday. This came in handy one day this past week when we got busy.
I made yogurt.
I earned enough points from Old Orchard Juice rewards to order a hat for my husband.
I sent in some clothes to Thred Up and received approximately $5.00 that went into my bank account.
The grocery shopping budget went out the window when we made a trip to the Amish store. We stocked up on meats and went way over (we failed the test). We are doing great on the rest of our No Spend January so I'm just going to finish it out right the rest of the time. Kind of act like it never happened. I think any amount saved is great. Don't give up!
Cleaned out the bathroom cupboard and found lots of dental floss so I was able to take that off my list to buy this week.
Goals for next week:
Keep within the food budget.
Finish cleaning out the bathroom cupboard (who knows what I might find). Then, I want to clean out the spice cupboard. I'm getting in the Spring cleaning mode I guess.
How did you save this past week?
