Make a delicious dip out of leftover chilli by spreading a package of softened cream cheese in the bottom of a deep pie plate. Top with 2 cups of leftover chilli and 1 cup of salsa. Sprinkle two cups of shredded chedder cheese on top and bake in a 350 degree over for 30 minutes. Serve with crisp tortilla chips for dipping.

Freeze left-over coffee in cubes. When you want a cup of coffee, heat a few cubes in a cup in the microwave. Especially like to do this with flavored coffees.

Instead of dried breadcrumbs in meatballs and meatloaf, remove the crust from soak 2 slices of whole wheat bread and soak in 2/3 cup buttermilk for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess milk and add to meat. Mighty moist!

When you have a spoonful or so of vegetables, like beans, peas, corn, rice, etc., leftover after a meal, put in a freezer container or bag in freezer. Use it to make vegetable soup.

If you like to taste the banana in your banana bread, cut your bananas into small pieces rather than mashing them.

Leftover Meatloaf makes a great meat for Tacos. Just add taco spices mixed with water (follow the packet's instructions) and reheat in a pan.

Freeze ground meat in 1 pound portions and place into freezer
storage bags. Flatten out to the edges of the bag and remove all the air before zipping and sealing, then freezing. These flat bags of ground meats stack neatly laid flat or standing on edge in the freezer. If you want a smaller amount it’s easy just to break it off then reseal the bag. The meats also thaw quicker when stored this way.

Keep flour in the bag and wrap it in a grocery sack. This keeps it from getting weevils and it stays fresh for much longer.

I buy ground beef in bulk and prepare for several meals in advance. I cook 5 or 6 lbs at a time and drain. I add taco seasoning, sloppy joe sauce, and leave some plain and freeze in vacuum sealer bags. I also add seasoning to the ground beef before I shape into patties and freeze. Saves lots of time and mess camping and on nights when time is short.

If you hate to throw out cookies just because they have gotten a little hard, place them in a ziplock sandwich bag with a piece of bread overnight. The next day you'll have fresh, soft cookies again.
