Thrifty Tip: Leftovers Taco Bar

Thrifty Tip: Leftovers Taco Bar

The other night I was trying to decide what to have for dinner. We had a lot of leftovers in the fridge; grilled pork chops, steaks and some chicken breast. There wasn’t enough of each for everyone to have a single item so I decided to mix & match!

I pulled out the steak, chicken and pork chops and chopped them all up. I stir fried them in a little bit of olive oil to crisp and heat them.

Then using leftover lettuce, cheese, sour cream, taco shells and salsa- we made tacos!

They were delicious! By stretching the meat by making tacos- these bits and pieces of leftovers made a meal for 6!

What do you do with leftover meat?

Inside Out Cupcakes: Perfect for Lunchboxes

Inside Out Cupcakes: Perfect for Lunchboxes

These are PERFECT for lunchboxes! Whenever my kids would take a cupcake from home they would also have a huge mess of icing smeared everywhere. Even a cupcake holder like this Fox Run Cupcake-To-Go that worked still was hard for their little fingers get it out without making a huge mess.

So we started making “Inside Out” Cupcakes! Instead of putting the icing on top- we’d place the icing in the middle as if it was a sandwich. You still get the icing and cake in every bite but it’s so much easier for them!

Peach Honey Recipe

Posted at 12:18 pm EST by Jessie @MoolaSavingMom 16 Comments 29 Jul

Every year I purchase ‘seconds’ of peaches {those flawed or very overripe peaches. I usually get them 50-75% off the regular farmers market price}. I use these to make “peach honey” (recipe to follow) but I detest wasting so much of the peach; the peel, the area around the pit, etc. Well, I found the answer: peach honey! Here’s the recipes for peach honey {Thanks Nana}

When I usually make peach honey I peel the peaches, and use the flesh to make the honey. But I recently found and adapted a recipe that uses the peelings, etc. to make peach juice which is then used to make the honey! The flesh of the peach is then canned as peach pieces or slices! Waste not!

Here is the adapted recipe for peach honey {trust me this stuff is like Nectar to the Coupon goddess!}

8 cups peach juice

Make this juice by simmering the peach peels covered with about 6 cups water until they are super soft. Cool and strain in cheesecloth or jelly bag. This is your Juice. I use a new thin cotton t-shirt instead of cheesecloth.

4 cups Sugar or 3 cups bee honey

Place the juice in the saucepan and heat over medium to high heat. When it boils vigorously, add the sugar (1/2 as much sugar as there is juice) Boil down until it is thick like honey. (You can also cook it on low overnight in a crockpot).

Can with 1/4 in. head space and process for 10 minutes in water canner.

This way the peach “body” is used; to can peach slices and the peels are used to make honey. This is so good, we literally eat spoons of it!

Beef Rolls with Zucchini, Peppers and Carrots

I am NOT a gourmet cook but these were SO easy to make and I think they turned out quite “fancy”!!

Ingredients:

Medium thick boneless steaks ( I used some thin/inexpensive cuts of beef and by marinating over night turned them nice and tender!)
1 Zucchini
2 Carrots
1 Green Pepper
Optional: Onions
Marinade of Choice ( I used Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt)
Olive Oil
Pepper, Salt for seasoning

Beef Rolls with Zucchini, Peppers and Carrots

Directions:

Marinade Beef over night.
Slice Carrots, Zucchini, Green Peppers and (optional) onions. Into long, thin slices.
Cut meat into strips about 2-3 inches wide.
Lightly sauté the vegetables until a slightly soft in olive oil over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Place 2-3 of each type of veggie on the edge of the beef and roll the beef around it. Secure with a toothpick or skewer.
Place meat rolls back in the pan where veggies were sautéed- put the seam side down first.
Cook to your preferred level of doneness (I gotta have mine welldone!), turning to cook each side caramelizing the meat on the outside.

*Optional serve with this Balsalmic Glaze. I served mine with Spicy Rice and black beans!
