Easter Sunday has come and gone, but that in no way means the food has. Like many families, you're probably in need of a second fridge for all the leftovers. Personally, we had three different chicken plates at dinner, but we know the lot of you maybe had the traditional ham. And like the reusing of the Easter eggs, that ham can be put to good use too.
Sometimes, nothing beats the taste of good, hearty homemade sandwich for lunch. And, especially in this economy, saving a few bucks where ever you can, is ideal. However, after awhile, that sandwich can become a bit mundane. If you feel like adding a little variety to life, turn that everyday hoagie into a delicious and portable taco bar.
We haven't delved too deep into the world of the Greek foods here at WSi. For whatever reason, the delicacies haven't come up as often as, say, Thai food, Mexican dishes, and American classics. To remedy this, try a chicken gyro tonight. If you're scared to try something new, just think of it as a rolled sandwich with a light ranch sauce made from cucumber. Easy as that...
We're all doing what we can to cut costs in this economy. It is by no means an easy or entertaining task, but simple measures can pay off in huge ways. For instance, stop with the coffee shop visits. In a short time, you'll be surprised at the money saved. Beyond that, consider packing a lunch for your workday versus eating out. An added benefit of making a lunch, is you have complete control over the contents, so why not make it as healthy as you want to. These hoagies are a good jumping off point.
Fatten your wallet while trimming your waist line. Sure, the economy is in the tank and the overall population's stress-level is bubbling way beyond the brink of sanity, but that doesn't mean you can't take small personal steps to improve your quality of life.
