voila you have a simple economical super taste meat loaf [ok] just using your leftovers

Add bread or roll to soak up the sauce. #1 rule of pasta is never leave sauce on the plate.

Which is French for “Three Cheese and Mushroom Pasta.” Trois Fromage et Champignon just sounds so much fancier…Anyways the bento components are the following:- Trois Fromage et Champignon Pasta topped with Sauteed Shrimps- Caesar Salad- Fresh Pineapple SlicesAs far as the Caesar salad, I did not make an original recipe. Just bought a package of salad and used dressing from the store as well.Note: Very important for packaging any salad. DO NOT mix the salad with the dressing until you are ready to eat. Otherwise your salad will wilt.For more pictures and recipes visit my blog www.diybento.com

Also known as poke cake . Don’t have a bundt pan , no problem 13x9 baking dish will work , just cut into squares. This literally $ was about 2.00 to make ( had the oil and eggs for the cake already)This recipe been around way before poke cake started hitting up social media. I kinda grew up on this jello cake, and my kids love it . So quick and easy great for potlucks, or a family dessert after dinner. #mycookbook

I searched for an easy veggie/rice dinner because I didn't feel like going to the grocery store... after viewing many ideas, I put this one together, and I am publishing for my own memory, as well as to help any body else in need of a quick dinner from refrigerator extras!

The home farm harvest from 2023 is all preserved, and traditionally, after eating so much for the Holidays, between Christmas and Mardi Gras Day 2024 is when all foods that were preserved in 2022 should be eaten, used and discarded if suspect. Some foods, however, had a bad harvest and we will continue to use them till the new crop is in, as long as we feel it is safe.

Ok folks... this is a sneak peak into the life of a full-time mom, wife, nurse, farmer, homesteader, entrepreneur, adventurer, crafter, DIYer, maker, and doer.I do my best to save ONE day at home for our tried and trusted weekly meal-prep slam where I clean out our fridge and take stock on how our nutrition can help fuel our busy week ahead. I am a mom of a 13-year old growing boy and our 3-year old daughter. WE. KNOW. BUSY!Because I work outside the home as an Emergency Room Nurse, I try to plan ahead on my days off to ensure all is well on the homestead. Having a good, fresh spice rack and a few essentials on hand, (such as some homemade bone broth), can turn your fridge full of partial ingredients into a culmination of savory deliciousness in minutes!

I had some fruit that did not look so appetizing anymore. Created a quick healthy pudding or breakfast dish.

For my second quick and easy snack... popsicles! Creamy popsicles (such as outshine) are a great snack all year round! I buy outshine no sugar added popsicles. They are honestly the best! I made these to represent them! Amazing!

This recipe came from not having a refrigerator and not being able to go on daily grocery trips. At the time, we also didn't have an oven so I would cook this on an electric stovetop we got for $20. It could be done in a microwave or in a bowl with boiling water from an electric kettle as well. If you have any vegetables, feel free to add them as well. This meal cost me $1.58 and serves 2 people as a main course(or 1 hungry person) or 4 people as a side dish. It requires no butter, milk, or extra spices

This is a good, greasy, hot meal for a cold morning. Great for after shoveling the driveway clear of snow, or for treating your spouse to a hearty breakfast in bed.I designed the recipe for 2 people, but I usually eat both servings because it's too good to share.

The use of kettled cooked chips allows a bit of moisture to be absorbed while retaining their crunch. For those who don't like fried onions on their green bean casserole this would be a great alternative. They do have sour cream and onion flavoured.
