Using Up Food

October 29th, 2020 at 01:43 pm

My ex's birthday was a few days ago, and I went to the family party.  It was a Mexican-themed meal, and I took Mexican slaw.  I brought home a good portion of it, as well as leftover enchiladas and Mexican rice.  I froze the enchiladas in meal portions.  Yesterday I turned the leftover slaw and rice into soup, adding a chicken soup base.  Today I'm going to add a little chicken to it, to make it heartier, and then I'll freeze it, after I eat one portion.  I still have half a cabbage, so I'm going to saute it with a red onion.  It will be a side dish.  The entree will be the chicken that does not go into the soup.

I was also sent home with almost a whole half gallon of lactose-free ice cream!

I'm planning on doing a lot of eating from the freezer in the coming month.  It will be tight financially, as I will still be paying for the electrical work.  I also have three birthdays in November, and Christmas hard on the heels of that.  This will be a challenge.

    I love Mexican food! This has inspired me to make some chicken tortilla soup!

    Aren't leftovers gold? They make me so happy. We're freezer eating too.
