Family Balance Sheet

Sunday : My oldest daughter had a swim meet all afternoon, so my husband treated us to dinner at our favorite deli. Wednesday : Burrito Bowls –my daughters request. I thought I would use leftover chicken from Tuesday, but we didn’t have enough, so I bought a rotisserie chicken for the meal. Monday: Tacos.

Sunday: Freezer leftovers. I’ve become more diligent about putting uneaten leftovers in the freezer. Wednesday: My oldest daughter requested a Tomato soup & Grilled Cheese night, so I went to Pinterest for a recipe. Thursday: I had leftover soup and I made tortellini with sauce for the kids.

My daughter even ate the leftovers for breakfast. Cook orzo according to package directions. These muffins make a hearty lunch or snack. In the final two minutes, add the broccoli to the pasta water to cook. In a large bowl, combine the orzo, broccoli, chicken, onion, salt, cheese, parsley, and eggs. Stir well to combine.

Use reusable containers with lids rather than plastic wrap and aluminum foil to store leftovers. Eat those leftovers! I have a good friend who hates leftovers and throws any away after a meal. By eating your leftovers, you are saving money and avoiding the land fills. That’s crazy! Brew your own coffee.

I bought a roll in 2011 and have been using it for everything from Christmas wrap to kid crafts to posters to mailing packages every since. For small packages, find interesting magazine pages to use in wrapping. Do you have some leftover wall paper you won’t be using? Use paper from other sources. Be unusual.

With my daughter’s birthday falling between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, we usually end up having her party in January. This year my daughter asked for a snow princess party…but only if it snowed. I was able to make 4 pom poms out of 3 packages of tissue paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for $0.99

My daughter and I love meatless meals…especially any kind of pasta/veggie combination! 1 – Cook 1 box orzo pasta as directed (we like to cook our pasta about 2 minutes less than what the package says…no mushy pasta!!). This is also a great way to use leftover veggies! Drain, rinse well and set aside.
