    Coconut Raisin Leftover Rice

    Coconut Raisin Leftover Rice

    Fall is here. For most of us here in the South that means football, gumbo, jambalaya, and beans, and all that means rice. Rice, rice, and more rice leads to leftover rice…which is a good thing, of course. I use

    Coconut Curried Leftover Vegetables

    Coconut Curried Leftover Vegetables

    Often I’m asked how I come up with some of my leftover creations. I wish I could say it was always a well thought-out, planned idea, but mostly my ideas come from my obvious love–leftovers. Subjects for my posts are

    Coconut Curry Red Beans

    Coconut Red Bean Curry

    My love for red beans and rice is no secret. After all, I sometimes have them for breakfast. One good thing about loving red beans as much as I do is always having leftovers in the freezer.  Normally, I could never get hubby to eat

    Have leftover Easter eggs? EAT them!! Did you know throwing away ONE egg is wasting 𝟱𝟱 𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, equivalent to leaving your kitchen faucet running for 𝟐𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬! Crazy, so it'd be crazy not to enjoy a batch of deviled eggs, scotch eggs or potato or egg salad. Hard boiled eggs also make for quick and easy breakfast protein bowls, too. Feeling indulgent? Make good old-fashioned creamed eggs on toast and top with caviar! #useitup #dontwastefood #leftovermakeover #eastereggs
    Leftover 𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬? Make 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝗲𝘀! Need a quick way to enjoy #nationalsloppyjoeday today? Use those leftover baked beans (or even grab a can). Simply brown ground beef, chicken, turkey, or tofu crumbles and mix in baked beans until heated. I like to add diced tomatoes, too. Put mixture on toasted buns. Enjoy! #sloppyjoe #sloppyjoeday #foodwastetip #leftovermakeover
    A little bit of veggie pasta and 2 slices of garlic bread from last night's dinner becomes a happy hour appetizer today. I love using leftover spaghetti or any pasta dish to make quick 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮. I add the pasta and a garlic clove (because can there ever be enough garlic?!) to a processor, blend with some cream cheese until smooth. Spread it onto the leftover garlic bread slices, top with a little mozzarella cheese, and bake for 15 minutes at 375*. Perfect accompaniment to a glass of chianti! #leftoverpasta #gottaloveleftovers #leftovermakeover
    Leftover 𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀? Add to 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐢! Don’t waste those few remaining onion rings. Put leftover rings into processor and pulse into crumbs. Crumble over fresh broccoli tossed with olive oil. Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 minutes or until tender. #leftovermakeover #foodwastetip #onionrings #broccoli
    Move over chicken noodle soup...you have been replaced with Crawfish Noodle Soup. Another cold and rainy day in Louisiana, lucky for me it's also crawfish season, which means 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 tails and crawfish shell stock in the freezer at the ready! Anyone else like me and prefer a higher noodle to stock ratio in a soup? #leftovermakeover #crawfishtime #louisianaseafood #crawfishtails
    What a fun cook-a-long I had this afternoon with Chef Gabby of @cooking.on.wheels for Rare Disease Day. Did you know 1 in 10 Americans have a rare disease? I didn't, I learned that today from @globalgenes while cooking. Thanks to @rachaelray for her Chicken Ragu recipe and for kicking off the cook-a-long with these great words, "Sharing food and love with each other no matter how far apart is who we are." So true in these times and I was grateful to share my time this afternoon in my favorite place, the kitchen, with friends some known and some new. Now...to dig into dinner! 😋 Wearing my stripes! 🦓 #rarediseaseday #nationalrarediseaseday #cookalong #cookingbenefit
