Prepared meal from July BBB & Old Bread Uses


This is the shrimp and noodle prepared meal from the July Angel Food Ministries Bountiful Blessings Box. The shrimp was uncooked and turned a nice pink when done.
I read a post where a family of 5 could make a prepared bag their meal. This is the entire contents on one plate. (my new Good Will Plate :)
Maybe its a bit much for a single serving and I am just a pig. If you do need to provide it as a meal for an entire family I suggest serving with bread as many people rely on bread in times of hunger and to make their food more filling. This is common in Morocco, where I have been many times.
Another note: One of the easy ways to save money on your grocery bills is to eat your left overs. The bread in the photo only has 2 more days left! I have inventoried my almost out of date bread and let my family know they need to eat toast for breakfast and to try and eat all the bread over the next 2 days! Otherwise it will be stale, moldy and end up in the trash which is a waste of money!
Here are a few things you can do with nearly old or stale bread:
Bread Pudding:
Bread, butter, milk & raisins
Butter your bread.  Lay out in a pan & sprinkle with raisins.  Beat your milk and egg together and pour it over the top>  Let it get soggy then bake.  Some like cinnamon & sugar as well or skip the raisins.
Croutons:
Stale bread or not - put butter in a pan, crumble or cut the bread and fry it up!
Add garlic or any spice you prefer. Easy Peasy!
French Toast, Regular Toast, grilled cheese, all good with nearly old breads!
