Leftover Love...

I bet you have a fridge full of leftovers and if you have one more bite of turkey you might just burst.  Well, don't throw all that food away!  There are lots of hungry folks on the street who would gladly accept a nourishing meal.  Here's how you do it:
  • Supplies You Need: 
    • Ziplock Bags- Quart Size is good; Plastic Utensils; Napkins; Old Plastic Grocery Bags; Bottled Water
  • To Do: 
    • Fill the Ziplock Bags with layers of various leftovers- mashed potatoes, then stuffing, then turkey, then gravy or cranberry. Lock up the bag and place it in the plastic grocery bag along with utensils, a bottled water and napkin.  TA DA! You have an instant picnic.  
  • Delivery: 
    • Get in the car with your delivery bags and seek out some common neighborhoods where homeless live and hand out the leftovers.  I find it helpful to have a helper in the passenger seat to help with the hand out.
It's as easy as that.  You just helped provide a wholesome meal to someone in need AND cleared out the fridge so you can start up your diet tomorrow.
