I am starting out the new year, by trying to get organized in the kitchen.
I have planned a week's menu, using what is on hand, made six half-pints of pizza sauce, and made a chocolate pie using chocolate milk that was on "borrowed time". DH bought it on Christmas eve for the little ones, and there was quite a bit left. I planned to make a chocolate pie for dinner, so I used the chocolate milk, instead or regular milk, and it tastes great. Saved it from being tossed.

I have resolved to label and date anything that goes into the freezer, this year. I just threw away two containers of "mystery food". I am hoping to avoid "refrigerator surprise" too. Getting organized will save a lot of money, when it comes to cooking.
Tonight, we will have homemade pizza, with homemade sauce, and I have five more containers of sauce in the freezer for the future. Chocolate-chocolate pie with whipped cream, left over from Christmas, will be dessert. Not exactly low cal, but I lost 13 pounds this fall, and have kept it off, so I will "splurge" on calories tonight!
Happy New Year everyone!
