I usually enjoy baking for my family, but today it was 101 degrees and I did not feel like turning on the oven. Even on hot days, my children require a bit of sugar to keep them sweet, so I made these easy Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies.

    I don’t have a real kitchen, nor the energy I had when I was younger, so super-easy recipes are what I need to move my menu above eating out of a can. How embarrassing.

    No bake cookies – an old favorite at our house! We like to make fruit ice creams with frozen bananas, strawberries, or peaches. So unbelievably good!

    We had the floats; and the next day, the men in my family couldn't resist polishing off the bottle of root beer! So for round two tonight, I resorted to Pepsi floats. Just as good!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
