Spaghetti meat sauce frittata

Tip 1: It will be easier if your meat sauce came directly from the fridge

Spaghetti meat sauce... what to do with it when you have cooked way too much? Just like what I had last week. As I have taken a challenge to cook variations of Spaghetti every week, I ended up with so much meat sauce, it was not funny. 

Since I really don't like throwing food, especially tasty ones, I always find ways to incorporate it to other dishes, sometimes I even manage to up-cycle them.

This time, I took the meat out of the spaghetti sauce.

On a separate bowl, I beat eggs, add salt and pepper, pour in a heated and oiled skillet, spoon some meat on top of the egg and fry it ala frittata. Once done, I served it with rice with the remaining sauce drizzled on top of it. 

I'm pretty sure it would have also tasted good as a sandwich filling or a filling for lettuce wrap. I have to keep that in mind next time I go over board with the Super Meaty Spaghetti Sauce.

Grocery Shopping

You should have a weekly shopping list poste on your fridge door or somewhere close when you're about to leave the house. This way it's accessible and you're always reminded that there are items that you must buy.

Your shopping list should have categories for grocery section, such as:
Baking
Coffee
Cereals
Crisps/Chips
Frozen
Fresh Meat
Fresh Produce
Breads
Cheese
Laundry
Canned foods
Lollies
And on and on and on...
This way, you save time by not going back and forth an isle.

As time goes by you'll get used to your nearest supermarket's arrangement and will remember which isle comes first, so arrange your categories accordingly.

If you're buying seafood, buy from big Supermarkets such as Geant, Carrefour, Union Coop if you're in the UAE. Their turnover is quick which ensures you get the freshest seafood you can find.

If you're buying fresh meat, buy from small ones, like Choitram, Spinneys, Park and Shop... their turnover is slower ensuring your meat had enough hanging time. The longer it's hanged, the tender your meat will be. Hanging allows muscles to relax and enzymes to get redistributed.

Majority of us forget to look at expiration date when buying canned or preserved stuff... please be concerned. That way, you don't waste your time and money on something that you'll throw the following week.

Always look at "on sale isle". Some items aren't due to expire in the next 2 months. If you're going to need the ingredient or item within the month, might as well take advantge of a better priced items.
