Fast notice on Thursday’s “Leftover Evening”. That is one in every of my favourite methods to scale back meals waste. As soon as per week (Thursday for us as a result of I grocery store on Friday), I pull out all of the leftovers from the fridge and simply let everybody create their very own meal primarily based on what we now have. It’s a good way to make use of up leftover veggies, grains, and so forth. If we don’t have a lot left, then we prepare dinner one thing from the freezer, pantry or have scrambled eggs.

We made this Red Wine Braised Short Rib recipe within the On the spot Pot on Sunday is was scrumptious! The entire household liked it.

That is the recipe we used for Shredded Chicken in the Instant pot…so good! Good for fast, weeknight tacos.
