From the Kitchen: Use What You Have

Before deciding what to make, see what you have, make a chart if you can be that organized. Always use things that you have before going to buy something. This has saved us big time.

You (I, always) spend more going out to the store than you planned to, not to mention you could have spent nothing just using leftovers or using things you would never have thought could go together.

You always have some cans of some veggies in your pantry like corn or peas; throw them a pot with some water and spices, add anything else you may have lying around (meat, beans, celery, or carrots), toast some bread with butter and garlic powder and you are good to go for at least one meal, maybe two!

In this case all we had was rice, cream of chicken, and, of course, frozen broccoli.
