Stuffed minced meat and my challange for myself in the kitchen **6 days have passed since this year and so far I have only bought a few potatoes and onions in the market. I am proud of myself. Hehe! So I thought I should go shopping, but I finally started the year in the kitchen by unpacking all the cabinets and checking the expiration date on the ingredients and what’s in the cabinet apart from the mess.** The cabinet had a half bag of rice, several kinds of half packs of pasta, bulgur, brown rice, spices and more. I also checked the freezer where I found peas, corn, fruit, bread, ham, minced meat, breaded fish,sliced ​​pork chop, a tiny whole chicken and a little turkey breast. So I challenged myself to make food from the existing ingredients until they ran out. And I have to do this so that the food has to be varied, I have to try new recipes and I also need to be able to put something in the “I give you eat” box. You can read about this box in this article: ***The first good act of the year- giving food*** https://read.cash/@BSzandra/the-first-good-act-of-the-year-giving-food-2c500a44 **So I want to show you what kind of food I made today.**

***Ingredients***: 500 grams of minced meat 1 small onion 3 cloves garlic 1 egg 1 handful of breadcrumbs salt, pepper, red pepper, parsley 100 grams of sliced ​​ham 100 grams of grated cheese 1 mug bulgur 2 mugs of water I chop the onion and garlic and add it to the meat along with the eggs, breadcrumbs and spices and mix it all up. I put the mixture on a piece of aluminum foil and press it by hand to make it rectangular. I put the ham and cheese on top and roll it up with the help of foil.

I bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about an hour then I unpack it from the aluminum foil and bake at 200 degrees for a few more minutes until the outside is better cooked. The top opened a little, but luckily it didn't fall apart because of it. I made bulgur for garnish, which is very easy to make. I put 1 mug of bulgur and 2 mugs of water in a pan and start warming up. If the water boils down after a few minutes I turn off the stove and leave the pan there with the lid on. The bulgur will absorb the water. When I’m done I’m salted and it’s done. I can say that I am satisfied because the food has become very delicious. **Closing thoughs** Actually, we should all be cooking from the ingredients we find at home instead of buying new ones and I know there’s nothing special about that. But honestly, I often don’t know exactly what’s in my closet and I buy in the store what I need to cook. I'm actually messy. But not only do I want my life to change ... in many ways ... but I want to change myself. And of course I want to save money. And it’s a great way to prevent unnecessary purchases. And the less often I have to go to the store, the less often I can spend on things I didn’t originally want to spend on. It sounds like I’m scattering money, but it’s not like that, I have so little money, so I have to pay more attention to it so that I can distribute it well.
