I am noted in my family for not letting food go to waste.  Even if we went out to dinner and had great steaks, I bring home the doggy bag of meat and cut it up for Steak and Eggs for breakfast.  Left over Chinese rice gets dumped into soups and casseroles.  I am forever making “Clean out the Fridge” Soup - what ever is in those little plastic bowls from the week gets dumped into the pot!

But I thought I would try a new game on you for those interested.  I am even willing to post a little prize for the best Meal Trail Madness.  The prize will depend on what mixes your Meal Trail includes.

Here is my example.

Monday is Garlic Lemon Chicken, rice and broccoli, Tuesday is Chicken Taco Salad with remaining G.L. chicken, greens, olives, tomatoes, chips and topped with Catalina Dressing (saving half of dressing in fridge).  Wednesday is Catalina Pork Chops (using other half of dressing), hash browned potatoes, corn and fruit.  Thursday is soup day using remaining pork chops (diced) and the left over rice, broccoli, potatoes, corn, water, can of diced tomatoes and some Sunday Roast seasoning.  Friday I take what is left of the soup, drain off all the liquid and mix with a can a cream of chicken soup and put that into a prepared pie crust, topping with another for a great pot pie.

That’s my Meal Trail Madness week.  Can you top it??
