    Yum! Looks good. I’d never known about candy coated chocolate sunflower seeds until I saw them in Trader Joe’s last month when I was in Oregon. We don’t have Trader Joe’s in Canada. So I bought them. How could I resist! And now I know what I can do with them! I love candy apples. I also noticed that Amazon Canada has these candy coated sunflower seeds for sale, but a different brand.

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.
