Breakfast Turns Dinner = Budget Conscious

After frying up some bacon, I am always compelled to do something with the savory bacon grease.  I'll either saute some chicken breast for later in the day/week or will immediately toss in some diced onion and garlic and see where it goes.  Typically, I end up making some sort of rice using whatever is lying around the kitchen.  It gives my wife something to snack on and takes the time, and pressure out of preparing later meals.  It also consolidates cleaning.  I also love that it saves me a lot of money on the olive oil I would have used and provides the opportunity to make use of any underused food items.
