This is where creativity takes on new form and function, when there is too many meals left and the end of the month is not coming soon enough. How does oatmeal sound? Breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I had plenty of oatmeal, which I do I could make some great gruel for breakfast, a wonderful cobbler for lunch and how about pancakes with oats in them for dinner...a little daring perhaps but it keeps them in suspense.
Fortunatly for my family I do have more than oatmeal for the remainder of this month, but my thinking goes like this; what do I have in the freezer...Oh there are chickens I got on sale. One night I will do chicken and rice bake, another night I will do steamed rice and chicken stir fry, and perhaps I will have enough chicken left over to do chicken enchiladas. Under these circumstances I am forced to think about what I can do with what I have in the house, (no shopping allowed, that's one of the rules of the game). I think about what I have in abundance and get creative.
