leftover love


i am kind of obsessed with leftovers lately. i guess it comes from the discovery of all the food i had in the freezer. i did throw out a HUGE bag of stuff, but still have quite a few things that are good, but need to be used.

so i got the idea of making my own microwave lunches. today i crockpotted some beef, onion, a nearly gone red pepper, leftover cream soup and a spoonful of yogurt to make a yummy stroganoff. then, i made some rice (on the bottom) and steamed peas to go with things.

3 cartons of goodies, at no cost because everything was leftover. i am hoping to lose some weight this winter, and it helps to have fast lunches ready, so i don't eat fast food or candy bars for lunch.

what next?!! i have some shredded chicken, so i am thinking a mexican meal will be coming up :)
