I need to visit often and learn a lot from you. Too funny though, what you mentioned about me and Amy. The theme of what you wrote about in your blog is exactly what I feel is so sad in our society today. So many have lost their values for the good stuff that they were brought up on. People shouldn't be amazed at what I cook for dinner, but they are. I just don't get it. Why do people want to take the easy way out (packaged crapt/fast food) and sacrifice their health? I don't get it. If you plan ahead it's really not hard, but I know you get it. OMG Your blog was great!! I need to visit often and learn a lot from you.

I am a big believer in re-purposing leftovers so they don't seem so much like "leftovers." The pork roast we ate for dinner last night will likely be transformed in pork and vegetable burritos or a ragu for pasta. The leftover roast chicken we ate on Sunday became a lovely stirfry on Tuesday. We have fun thinking of creative ways to use our food, and we save a lot of time and money.

Cover the meat with a couple of cans your favorite flavors of Healthy Request soups (or the private label version). Cook on low until dinner time. Serve with a of package of Steamables veggies, Uncle Ben's 90-second microwaveable brown rice, and a glass of skim milk over crushed ice.
