Well, it is the end of the month and the leftovers are minimal. The cupboards are somewhat bare. Time for creativity in the kitchen.
So I introduce the "Waiting for Payday" Dinner.
Possibilities Pot Pie - Oh the possibilities. I dug through the freezer, fridge and cupboards and found frozen pre-cooked chicken, frozen corn, fresh carrots, condensed chicken soup, and Bisquick.
So, you guessed it, I threw together chicken, veggies & soup. Tossed it into the nearest Demarle mold.
I mixed together 1 cup Bisquick with about 1/2 cup milk, seasonings and some left over shredded cheese. Poured it on top of the chicken mixture and baked for about 30 minutes.
Simple Salad- Armed with iceberg lettuce (boring) and no other veggies, I threw some dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and the leftover Feta cheese on top. Voila! The family loved it! (A few complaints about the sunflower seeds, but overall, a positive response!)
Champagne Salad in the Waffle Tray - Since I portion so many things out into Demarle trays and freeze the portions, I was not surprised to find three lonely fruit salads left in the freezer. Daddy and I let the kids have them! They were so grateful we did not make them share with us!
So- there you go, our simple supper on a budget!
