Meal bowls are also a great way to use leftovers and random ingredients with endless variations. Most people struggle with leftovers, and this is a perfect way to turn them into a completely different meal ! To reduce food waste, we prepared these mostly with ingredients that needed to be used.

I use rotisserie chicken, Minute® Rice, and all the fixin’s. Instead we’re all ready to tackle our schedule. In this version, I used rotisserie chicken from the store, but I’ve also used leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and leftover roasted chicken from Sunday dinner.

These are strategies I use weekly to help keep my grocery bill in line with our budget. Designate one night a week as “raid the fridge’ night to get rid of leftovers. Everyone’s plate might look different, but you’ll at least use up the leftovers and reduce the waste. Use cashback apps. You’ll be thankful later.

This dish came together because I was trying to find a way to use up the rest of my kale, and I loved the texture it added. Of course, depending on the brand of ingredients you use, that may be more or less for you. I repeatedly get asked for full nutrition counts. I’m using curly kale, but use whatever green you like.

I often find myself opening a jar of spaghetti sauce, using only part of it, and putting the rest in the fridge with the intention of using it up in the next few days. They’re great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack. Some canned soups are better than others in flavor and nutrition though. Roasted nuts.
