[quote=Anonymous]Fried rice - take refrigerated leftover rice (drier and the texture is better for this purpose) and stir fry over high heat with an egg or two, onion, garlic, and whatever fresh/frozen veggies, meats, etc you have on hand. It's GREAT for using up little bits and pieces.

Also, stuffed green peppers - the peppers themselves are really cheap and you can make them with a base of rice and whatever sauces, meats, and veggies you want.

Make a big pot of meat sauce and freeze in portions. You can use it over spaghetti, in sloppy joes, or add kidney beans to it for chili, which opens up even more possibilities. One of my favorite multi-purpose foods. I use it all the time in aforementioned stuffed peppers.

I stockpile ingredients like pasta, rice, frozen veggies, frozen chicken breast, etc. that I buy in bulk when I find on sale. I can make a huge variety of dishes from what I have frozen and in the pantry. I add frozen veggies to EVERYTHING. So much easier than dealing with the waste and frequent buying of fresh.  [/quote]
