Add a little meat and you’ve got a thrifty, quick and easy dinner recipe. Just one piece of fried chicken leftover? Remove the skin, wrap it in plastic wrap inside a freezer container and freeze. Next week, when someone’s looking for a quick lunch, use the meat for a chicken pita pocket sandwich, garnished with a bit of lettuce, tomato and onion. You can also save these leftover chicken pieces until you have enough for a casserole. Make a chef’s salad. Even with prices the way they are, I’ve been guilty of forgetting one tomato, nestled in its paper bag in the frig (a paper bag lengthens the shelf life of many veggies), until it was no longer edible. The same with mushrooms, slap my hand!
