I started a blog about stuff I do with leftovers a while back, but soon found it kind of difficult to keep up. At the urging of a friend of mine to put out there, the stuff I whip up for my family, I have decided to go ahead with it again. So, here goes nothing!
I've been cooking and baking pretty much all of my life; and was probably the only one in the 3rd or 4th grade checking out cookbooks from the library at school. My mom didn't much care for baking, so I eagerly took over that 'chore' to add sweets to the house, which paid off of course with two brothers to help eat the results.
As time crunched with having a teaching job and being a mother, I started getting creative with not only crockpot recipes, including using many cookbooks and 'Google-ing' many recipes, but with the leftovers I swore to never waste. I always have a use for something, even if it means storing it in the freezer for a while until I can think of a use. I have the most fun creating using whatever I have in the pantry or refrigerator, and consider it a challenge that's worth the effort when I hear how good my masterpieces taste.
Now leftovers aren't for everyone, as a former coworker said loud and clear, "I WILL NEVER EAT LEFTOVERS", and it struck a chord with me. I find not using them quite wasteful and vowed to be 'green' in my cooking from then on.
Is this an original or unique blog? Not one bit, but I figure it's just one more to add to those out there from which to choose. I hope you find it useful and easy to follow. Suggestions are always welcome, as I consider myself a novice at cooking, still.
