Save the leftovers from going to the garbage.

I am not sure about anyone else but at the end of the week I am usually throwing away 1 or 2 left overs or random items that I did not use it all when making a recipe that week...

Well I have this obsession with creating new things with what I find in my fridge. No shopping. No grabbing something from the freezer...

This is my most recent one. 

I had a pepper that was almost ready to go bad,one bag or rice left and some taco hamburg left over from tacos that week. Cheese and butter,its in the fridge so it counts!! 

I cooked up the rice, and while that was boiling I sauteed the pepper,through in the hamburger and then added the rice. I topped with cheese and served. Now I also had diced tomatoes in the fridge so last minute I added those.Sometimes I do also have other veggies and I could have used those as well. But this was the end of the month for us and its all I had.

This meal took maybe 7 mins to cook (minus the rice) Faster then a hamburger helper. Although I love hamburger helper and will recommend it. Sometimes its best to have home made,from the heart,save the left overs from the garbage type meals!
