First, remember the Crock Pot Creamy Chicken and Noodles from Sunday night? Well, I took the leftovers, added 2 cups of chicken stock (made from boullion) and heated it through. It morphed from a noodle dish to a totally awesome chicken noodle soup!!
Next, I took the leftover meatballs and sauce from last night's meatball subs. I boiled some spaghetti noodles, folded it into the warmed (in the microwave) sauce and put it in a pie pan. I added pepperoni and shredded cheese and baked it in a 350 degree oven with some garlic toast (ala almost stale hamburger buns).
Now, I realize I am revealing my deepest, darkest kitchen secrets to you. Is it a little embarassing to use hamburger buns to make garlic toast? yes. Am I hoping that most of you have done it too? yes! Am I also hoping to inspire some of you to make some of your own middle class magic? Absolutely!
I love not wasting food and not spending any money, but still feeding my family flavorful, home cooked meals! My next big endeavor will be Thursday night when I come up with 2 desserts to take to a party Saturday night--solely from the stuff in my pantry! Stay Tuned!!
Guilty of hotdog buns too here!
