Just like everyone else in the world, when prepping for a trip, I like to use what I have in the fridge – and not let anything go to waste. Well, maybe I’m not like everyone else in the world. But I’m terrified of disposing of any food item that could have otherwise been used…

It seems rather silly to allow for a giant amount of Lemon Pistachio Pesto to go to waste. (The recipe makes a ton). And, it also seems a bit frivolous to cook only one measly beet for a pasta recipe. Thus, we have a combination of leftover to create something entirely new. Smashed sweet potatoes, roasted…

I hear from fellow foodies and friends alike each and every day about the fact that leftovers are hard. People seem to have no idea or concept of what to do with them… Particularly the “parts.” Sure, it’s one thing to be able to nosh on some leftover lasagna a few days in a row,…

Sometimes – and only sometimes – I just don’t want to come up with anything new. My brain, my body…my energy – it’s done. I will stand in front of the refrigerator door and just look. I peruse. And then, without even trying ~ Shazam! It all comes together. Leftovers and all…things just seem to…

What to do when a little bit of everything lingers in the fridge from the previous few days… Get creative.

I am fantastic at using up leftovers ~ most of the time ~ I love the creativity involved…

Never before a savory breakfast eater, over the past few years I’ve shied away from fruits and nuts (my previous go-to morning meal) and drifted, migrated, and evolved into a warm and savory breakfast kind of girl. Excuse me, kind of WOMAN. Now that I utter the…

I’m tired. It’s now dark. I’m HUNGRY! You know that story, the drill after a long day’s work. For days such as these (and it seems that they are becoming more common than not ~ particularly the “it’s dark” part ~ fall is here), I like simplicity. Leftovers. A mishmash of leftovers will do. Dagwood…

Pretty busy week…pretty awesome week. 1. Coincidental commonalities with total strangers. 2. Unexpected checks in the mail. (For the record, this did NOT happen to me this week. But, I was thinking about how AWESOME it would be if it did happen!). 3. Leftover soup. It’s always so much better the next day. 4….
