    You should try french fries omelettes.
    Lightly oil the pan and put the fries in and refry till lighty brown. Beat 2 large eggs while it's frying, then pour the beaten eggs into the frying with the fries, season with salt and cayenne, add some cheese, fry till the eggs are lightly brown, then flip over. Serve when the flipped side is lightly brown.

      If you have 3 dollars left, rather than wasting value on fast food, buy a bag of raw potatoes instead - it will last you longer than just one meal and is healtier for you too. You can still make potatoe soup out of them, but it wont have the orange grease layer on it and make a much larger amount. Also: I know it can be very hard, but do try to budget in the future - bulk base makes the most sense if you don't have a lot to spend on food.

    Love these kinds of meals where you can use an already cooked meal to make a brand new meal. My favorites are using leftover hotdogs and burgers that have been grilled earlier. I chop up leftover sliced veggies for the burgers (tomatoes and onions mostly) and sauté them with diced hotdogs. I then use this and the leftover lettuce as a topping for tostadas for lunch next day. Super economical and it makes you feel like it’s a brand new dish instead of eating leftovers

    Not sure if you've tried to make it yet, but I'd love to see your rendition of egg gravy. It's similar to sausage gravy. In the prosscess but instead of sausage you use hard boiled eggs. My mom would make it as a 'fancy' breakfast or when we were low on money and didn't have much food. My mom got the recipe from my grandmother which was passed down from her grandmother who would end up making it for a lady she worked for as a maid. The lady would host tea parties and have it as brunch.

    For people who don't have a blender: I used to mash things by pressing them down against the side of the container with a spoon (use the non-hollow side, ofc), and then mashing it a little further with a fork. Depending on how soft you have boiled it already, you can even whisk it with a fork. I used this to make brownies as well. It won't be perfect, but with some time and muscle , we can make it work! 💪

      Exactly what I thought too. Potatoes are a LOT cheaper than fries and you can make proper potatoe soup with them and larger quantities as well. So this is not for saving money on food, it is only viable if you have at least a cup of fries leftover that you ordered, then didn't eat and don't want to throw out. How often does that happen? (As a handful of fries might be left at the end of a meal, but enough to varant even starting this? I doubt it.)

      I thought that when you order fries for a toddler there are never any left because the toddler throws them all on the floor, lol.

    For reheating McDonald's fries, spray with a very small bit of oil, toss, and put in a COLD oven at 350°

    I usually repurpose leftover fries into scrambled eggs - warm them up and mash in the frying pan, add in whatever you normally add to scrambled eggs (mushroom, bell pepper, etc.), add in the eggs once the vegetables are cooked, add salt and pepper to taste, and top with whatever you like (cheese, green onion, ketchup, hot sauce, hollandaise, etc.)

    That looked pretty disgusting until you pureed it. Then it looked like butternut squash soup, except the color was wrong. What a cool idea.
    Hey, Emmy. Want ketchup with that? 🍟🍅

      I still love them though. Every family has ups and downs, but everyone still gets over it. My mom did take care of me after all, and sacraficed years of her life to keep me alive and fed. I'm a person too, I'm not some high-tech robot that can easily drop a large part of my life.

    I did something similar with leftover sweet potato fries. I used them to make a waffle by adding coconut flour, cinnamon, coconut milk and an egg. Blend everything together with your immersion blender to create the batter.

    McDonald's fries are no good when reheated, but for other places, put the fries in a brown paper bag by themselves while still warm, seal the bag, store it. When you go to reheat them, throw the bag o' fries straight in the microwave. Reheat in 60 second bursts to your desired hotness.

I appreciate your optimism, because even when you start to say something that could sound negative, you make the entire experience a positive! 😀😀💕
