Anything in a crockpot, but my favorite is crockpot beans and I try to toss in a good ham bone with meat still on it to make a meal.

Definitely fried rice. It is one of my favorite clean-out the fridge recipes with protein and veggies. If I have meat I add meat, if not I add eggs. I can use frozen veggies, fresh veggies, or left over veggies. I can make fresh rice, use leftover rice, or even use free rice from the take-out place. I can make a lot and keep it in the freezer. The possibilities are endless...

How do you get free rice from the take-out places?

I don't get chinese carry out often but when I do, I always throw the boxes of white rice that come free with your entrees into the freezer. Perfect to make my own fried rice with in a few weeks.
