Ellie making stuffing, which we are still enjoying!
This week following Thanksgiving is a “use up what we have” week. We have lots of leftover bits of things–vegetables, turkey, ham, bread–and this week is going to make good use of them rather than spending more money on groceries! Thankfully, my family loves turkey leftovers 🙂 By mid-week, I should have a fair amount of turkey stock put up in the freezer to use later as well! Since I’m trying to really use just what we already have, I’m making some recipe substitutions here and there and hope that in the end, it will all work out 🙂
Our spending for this week is low–$31.54! That includes “paying” ourselves back for stock up vegetables that we froze over the summer!
- Trader Joes (tortillas, cheese, noodles, onions, Greek yogurt): $16.54
- Mitchell’s freezer (green beans, jalapeno, tomatoes, field peas, corn): $15.00
What are we having? Here is our post-Thanksgiving week leftover festival 🙂 Recipes to follow.
- Monday–Turkey and sweet potato hash with egg (a variation of THIS recipe) and broccoli
- Tuesday–Ham and field peas, sweet potatoes
- Wednesday–Scout night–everyone’s on their own
- Thursday–Southwestern turkey and veggie casserole
- Friday–Leftover casserole
- Saturday–Turkey noodle soup, grilled cheese
What is your favorite way to use up holiday leftovers?
