Good for the last few days and leftovers

Meals:

1) chicken with taco seasoning, potatoes with butter and cheesy broccoli

2) lunch meat & cheese sandwiches, mac & cheese, banana and popcorn

3) pizza with homemade crust

I still have some lunch meat & cheese and leftover pizza.

... Read moreTransforming leftovers into exciting meals not only saves time but also reduces food waste. If you find yourself with leftover lunch meat, consider whipping up a savory quiche or a flavorful stir-fry. These dishes can make great use of your remaining ingredients without compromising on taste. Another option is to create wraps or salads with leftover meats and cheese, combining them with fresh vegetables for a nutritious twist. For those leftover pizzas, try turning them into breakfast by adding an egg on top and baking until set. These creative approaches can elevate your leftover meals into something special, making every bite count. Additionally, don't forget about the power of meal prep! Planning ahead can help you utilize ingredients more effectively and avoid those annoying last-minute meal scrambles. By thinking strategically about your meals, you can ensure that every ingredient is used to its fullest, leading to both delicious dining experiences and less waste. Remember, the key is to get creative and enjoy the process of cooking with what you have on hand!

Today I’m doing a split with my cooking time because I need it done at a certain time I’m going to do high for 2.5 hours then low for the rest of my cooking time. I recommend starting so you can keep it on low the whole time and your roast will just fall apart. It’s so good and leftovers for days.
