Frugal Feasting Tips

One of my best frugal and time saving tips I learned from Robin Miller's "Quick Fix Meals" on the Food Network. She refers to the method as "morphing." I think of it as creative use of leftovers.

The Premise: cook a large portion of meat for the first meal and use the leftovers to create additional meals from. This saves LOTS of time and helps you take advantage of when specials are run on particular meats. It also helps to build and layer flavors. Watch for more of these recipes in the days to come.
