Each summer, as we hibernate inside away from the heat, and anticipate hurricanes and resulting power outages, we try to consume the food we’ve already purchased deep in the freezer or lost in the back of the fridge.
Today for breakfast, I’m making cheese biscuits with a just expired can of Pilsbury grands that got lost in back fridge and 3 partial bags of shredded cheese.
For lunch, I’m making ham & cheese rolls with 2 just-expired can of Pillsbury crescent rolls, more from that 3rd open bag of shredded cheese, and sliced ham.
For dinner, we’re having lasagna made with long-neglected lasagna noodles from our pantry, fresh and frozen leftover roast chicken and two already-opened containers of pesto re-found in the fridge.
No, not diet food but pretty much “free” cause we paid for most of this food long ago and now we are using up leftovers or remnants or long-forgotten purchases.
EDITED TO ADD:
Inventoried our canned goods. Might as well eat some of these too. Upcoming meals:
- Burritos — use up refried beans
- Veggie soup — loads of canned veggies and tomatoes and potatoes
- Sweet corn & garbanzo salad
- Mexican sweet corn
- Turkey chili
