I am the queen of making something yummy out of leftovers!! I keep thinking I should make a cookbook or something.

I cook less lately, and that saddends me, because it means more waste.

I try to make things that I would like eating, but every once in a while something gets in that I don’t like.

Recently, someone made us a dish with peas; I HATE PEAS. So when too many leftover bits and pieces were in my fridge, I made this delicious stew our of all our leftovers, including the peas. The stew smelled amazing, but all of a sudden no one wanted stew with peas.

I did not want it to go bad, so motza”sh I decided that was what we were having for dinner. No substitutes. My finicky eaters finished it all. (it really was very good)

Feels good to know that we’re not the only ones eating leftover chamin (cholent) on Sunday…

I pick up staples when I’m shopping and have places I like to buy certain staples. I would love to be able to pick up produce only every other week, but we eat a lot of produce and besides lack of space, my kids love bannanas and they don’t hold that long.

Hmm, I think you’d have to have a real eagle eye or super sensative palate to spot a roasted beet or turnip in that sauce! You could always play dumb if they would ask- “Beet? Turnip? I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Sounds delish.

Roasted veggies rule! I’ve been eating them all week with brown rice and techina. ( i put a few in this pttitim/lentil concoction i made too)
