Stretching the Leftovers


It’s a Monday.  Who wants to cook on a Monday?  I debated just having cereal and sandwiches, but I had a half filled sealed container of that slow cooked pork staring at me in the fridge.  I threw together 8oz of yellow rice, 2 cups of water, a small can of peas, and the leftover pork in a casserole dish.  I covered it and slid it in the oven at 325 for an hour and a half. 

The tempting aroma prompted my husband to ask if it was finished ten minutes early.  When I did slide it out of the oven and scoop spoonfuls onto our dinner plates, he hovered breathing deep with his mouth watering.  Sometimes he reminds me of our dog. 

The dinner was delicious, required practically no dishes, and I have another serving for my lunch tomorrow!  Now that is stretching the budget!
