Leftovers...a must

Tip of the day: Be creative with your leftovers.

Eating leftovers is a must when it comes to saving cash and eating well.  However, there are many times where I think "I CANNOT eat this dish one more time!!!"  Hence, the need to get creative.  Take you leftover dish and kick it up a notch--add some different spices or turn it into a completely new dish.  For example, today I needed to eat some leftover pot roast.  It was a very good roast, but I was getting a little tired of eating it accompanied by a side of roasted veggies.  So today for lunch, I took a piece of frozen bacon from my freezer (see how that comes in handy) and put it in a skillet.  Once it began to render all of the yummy bacon grease, I added in some defrosted green beans (again, handy).  Once the beans began to cook down an brown a little, I added in some of the shredded roast and roast broth.  Once the meat was heated, I put it on a plate and enjoyed!

I'm off to enjoy a weekend in the Smokies, but I'll update you on whether I made it though the weekend on paleo...I'm prepared, so here's to hoping.  More on surviving vacation on paleo when I get back...
