| Bake Ziti is always good because you can usually get atleast two meals out of it. Grilled cheese and soup is always good and meatloaf! |

| Sloppy joes, omelettes, tuna salad or egg salad sandwiches with soup. Here's a recipe for quick and cheap cheese quesadillas. Cheese Quesadillas Make these with flour tortillas. Heat two tortillas in a skillet and remove one to a plate. Top the remaining tortilla with shredded cheese. When melted, about 1-2 minutes, place the other tortilla on top. Allow to cook for a minute or so, flip the whole thing over and cook the other side for another minute. Dump onto a plate, slice with a pizza cutter. If you have it: Add shredded cooked chicken to the cheese. Serve with salsa.

| Casserole! Anything you have left over, any meat, any cheese, any veggies, anything! Just put it in a pan and bake it! I also like to buy frozen white rolls (Rhodes Rolls, that's what I use), and I make hot pockets. You let the rolls thaw, roll them out, and stuff them with whatever you have around the house! Ham and cheese, pizza filling, rice and beans! One bag of frozen rolls goes a LONG way! I've gotta stop thinking about food, I still have a few hours of work left before dinner!!! Of course there is always pb&j...

| Polenta.. my grandmother makes it.. Its cornmeal and water with sauce on top.. Heres the exact recipe: 9 Cups Water 1 Teaspoon Salt 3 Cups Cornmeal; coarse−grain|Bring water to a boil in a large heavy pot. Add salt and reduce heat until water is simmering. Take cornmeal by the handful and add to water very slowly, controlling the flow to a thin stream through your fingers. To avoid lumps, stir quickly with a long handled wooden spoon while adding cornmeal. If necessary, stop adding cornmeal from time to time and beat mixture vigorously. Cook, stirring constantly, 20 to 30 minutes. Polenta will become very thick while cooking. It is done when it comes away cleanly from the sides of the pot. Pour into individuals plates.. Tilt the plates to spread it out.. let cool for a few minutes.. Add tomatoe sauce and let cool again for a minute and eat! AND Soup.. Put some water in a huge pan add all veggies you have like tomatoes, celery, carrots etc.. And then chicken if you want.. Pretty much anything you have left over.. Buy in bulk it will cost less..
