Wednesday Waste. Not.

I'm so very proud of the macaroni salad that I made this week. Last week I baked macaroni and cheese as a side for our supper, but I boiled too many noodles. I decided to save them for "something" later during the week.

Last Friday for an early lunch I went to a "Signature Ralph's" grocery store. The buffet station was freshly prepared and the pasta looked so tasty. I enjoyed the crab salad and rotini pasta, but while I did, I thought quietly... I can make this easily at home.

When I opened the refrigerator on Monday morning the first "thing" I saw was those extra elbow noodles from last week. My first thought was to trash "it," but I remembered how good the pasta from Ralph's tasted. Yes. I tossed those noodles all right... with a few other key ingredients and made a delicious macaroni salad.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with those old noodles. Laughing out loud. I prepared two different dishes, which served one simple purpose: Healthy nourishment for my family on two separate occasions! 

I am striving to make the most of "everything!"
