My adult kids like to make fun of me by calling me the “one pot, repurposing food queen.” Why? Because I save and repurpose leftovers. In fairness to them let me say that 1) I really like food, 2) my taste buds aren’t particular, and 3) although I am not a great cook, I eat well.

Like little Mikey from an old 1980’s commercial- give it to Ms. Wanda cause she’ll eat ANYTHING (just about, but there are limits) 😂

Prices continue to rise, product sizes continue to decrease, and in due time, I will be a happy retiree whose income has decreased.

Understanding this, Proverbs 24:27 really hit home with me as I prepare for the next leg of my journey in life as a senior and this is what it says: Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. This scripture covers everything we do and hope to do, in the beginning and all the way through to the end of life.

As a senior, my primary goal of faith is to ensure that my latter days will be better (Proverbs 4:1, 8:33, 19:20) than my years before. And in doing so, I fully anticipate my lessened things will work out to provide for me a far greater blessing in my latter years of life.

The 2 dishes shone are the result of a half bag of spaghetti leftover (from creating a large cold pasta salad last week), plus sausage & cheese from the Super Bowl snack tray, and seasonings from the pantry.

They both TASTE as good as it looks 🙌🏽
