I have to admit, today is one of the hardest day for this challenge so far. I’m sick, woke up late and have errands to do before I get home to cook. However, I am still determined to make something and not order out.
The plan tonight is very simple, but still allows me to finish the food I have in my house. Yes, the plan includes leftovers of previous meals, but I plan to add to the food to make a completely different meal.
I have the very last of my enchilada casserole in my fridge. However, it is not enough to make a complete meal because I’ve been eating it over the past few days. I discovered some Uncle Ben’s rice packets in my cupboard (the microwavable pouches that cook in 90 seconds) to mix in. The plan is to mix some of the rice in and save the rest for another meal later on this week.
Since this will be a busy week, I am brainstorming some ideas on how to finish said rice. Here are some thoughts:
Mix with some spinach and chicken wings.
Add beans for a rice and beans dish.
Mix with what every other vegetables I have in the house.
Make into fried rice.
This challenge is giving me plenty of room to be creative with a limited amount of food. I will keep you posted on ideas I come up with and then on day seven, let you know the issues I ran into while doing this challenge.
As always, thanks for reading.
