Becki We've been trying hard not to waste food here. I'm so proud of managing to a) finish off a bunch of leftovers and b) satisfy various picky appetites without having to cook three different meals that I had to post.
Last night we had marinated flank steak. There was some of that left over, but not enough to make an entree. There was also some baby carrots, spinach and mixed greens left from last week's salad ingredients, along with bleu cheese bought for our Valentine's dinner. Last but not least, there was half a bag of corkscrew pasta--again, not enough for an entree for the whole family.
Here's how the meal shook out:
South Beach Dieting Mama: Mixed greens salad with sliced flank steak, bleu cheese and balsamic vinaigrette
Picky Vegetarian-wannabe Girl: Pasta and baby carrots (with some cheese for protein)
Eat-anything-except-most-vegetables growing boy: Sliced flank steak, pasta, and baby carrots
Hard-working Dad: Pasta tossed with sauteed spinach, sliced flank steak, and bleu cheese.
Nobody's dinner is actually all that interesting except for my husband's, but I was still pleased that everyone got a dinner they liked, the fridge got cleaned out, and I didn't have to do any extra work.

Brandie Very, very impressive! I am working on cleaning out all food items from my fridge this week - I hope I can be half as good as you were with this dinner! =)
