Meals on a Budget

Fly lady has a recipe on her site call Rubber chicken and I have adapted it to all sorts of roast. Basically it is roast beast with veggies on day one then wraps, rice, noodle bake or pizza with left overs then throw carcasses into crock pot after stripping them on day two. Add garlic carrot, celery onion a bouquet de garni and top with water and cook until next day. add more veggies and/or meat, bake some bread or biscuits and Volia! and sometimes I can get two days out of the soup! These meals work out to cheap shmeap!
