If you haven’t noticed, our meals aren’t as elaborate or adventurous as they once were. The reason is simple, I’m trying to keep things as easy and nutritious as possible and still stay within my points for the day. I’ve also put us on a tight grocery budget because I’m sick of food going to waste. For dinner last night, we had clean out the fridge night. Not everyone had the same thing, but it was a way to use all of our leftovers from the week and everyone was happy with their plates. Mine was ugly (I need a light box!), but it was quite tasty.
I had a base of brown rice and pinto beans, I used 1/2 a cup of each.
And then topped with an over medium egg…wanted over easy, but got distracted.
And then finished it off with the second half of my apple from my lunch. I was pretty surprised at how filling this combo was and also how good it was!!!
Fan of leftovers or throw them away?
Healthy Food and Family 
This looks delicious! i have made similar concoctions for breakfast with my left overs. I prefer left overs!
Thank you 🙂
I’ve done the same thing- keep it simple and don’t waste! We also do at least 2 meals a week from the pantry/things in the fridge to try and cut back on groceries.
It really keeps the grocery bill down!
I feel you, I’m working on cleaning out my fridge now. I’m definitely not a fan of leftovers, but I try to eat them anyway because i HATE wasting food.
I hear ya!
Hee hee – let me guess, someone yelled out “mom?” and, boom, you are now at over medium. 🙂
Haha! you got it!!!
That looks great. I love making dishes from anythign I put my hands on in the pantry and fridge. My poppa used to call it glop. Not the most attractive name but warms my heart just the same. 🙂
Glop. I like it 🙂
We need to start doing this!! We have been throwing SO much food away lately because things come up and we end up eating out or eating with friends!! UGH!!
I understand, we did the same thing!!!
My fridge is perpetually empty because I literally fear throwing food away. My father ingrained this into us when we were kids!
I never had that growing up. My parents hated leftovers, my mom still refuses to eat them. It wasn’t until I was married and poor that I learned the value of leftover food and not wasting anything!
ugly but delicious is our favorite. That is really my husbands favorite dish!
It’s quickly becoming one of my “go to” dishes!
YUMMY!!!!!!!!!
Agree 🙂
I dump hot sauce on leftovers 🙂
I dump hot sauce on just about everything 😉
that combo actually does sound delicious!!
ive kept leftovers so far, but i think today’s the day i throw them away! especially the pumpkin pie bc i have no self control around that 🙂
Thankfully, all T-Day leftovers remained at my mom’s house, my brothers ate the rest throughout the weekend 😉
