Pudding in Choclate cups (640x432)

Today I am sharing some tips for using up milk that is about to expire at The Thrifty Mama. The Chocolate Pudding recipe that I shared calls for 1 cup of chocolate chips, However that is a modification I made to my Grandma’s original recipe. If you avoid chocolate chips because they contain soy lecithin, you can substitute 1/2 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons of butter for 1 cup of chocolate chips.

My kids prefer the recipe with chocolate chips and say it tastes like brownie batter. I prefer the original recipe. No matter which recipe I use, we both like our pudding served in chocolate cups and topped with Vanilla Whip Cream, though you may prefer Crystal’s Homemade Cool Whip.

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.
