Dressing Up Leftovers

We just had awesome budget gourmet dinners two nights in a row.

Night One:
Roasted chicken, rubbed with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and rosemary
Sauteed spinach with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, red onion, fresh garlic, and seasonings

Cost: $7 (everything purchased on sale)

Night Two:
Italian wedding soup made from boiling the roasted chicken carcass, leftover sauteed spinach, with added sausage and a handful of pasta. I think we liked this second meal better than the first! The balsamic vinegar in the sauteed leftover spinach really gave it a nice kick too.

Additional cost: $2

Total for two awesomely delicious and nutritious meals for two: $9.
