If you have a good deal of rice then think Asian - especially if you have
some Asian veggies.

a nice fried rice with fresh veggies is one of my favorites. If there is a
small piece of leftover chicken or pork or whatever all the better -

If you have eggs a giant torta (Spanish Omelets) is very filling and well
balanced.

Don't know where you live but in the good ads this week there were some
coupons for Vons (Safeway) # 1 Butter 99 cents
18 eggs 99 cents. Life cereal 99 cents.

Been there done that....
