How many times do we look at a left over and say to ourselves- should we or should we not throw this away? I have come to the conclusion unless you have lots of money the answer is don’t throw it away. Either give it away of package it up so it can be preserved for a period of time.
If I have cookies or brownies that are not exactly fresh, I put them in a plastic bag, crush them up, and use them for ice cream topping or a dessert crust of some kind.
I use all left-over donuts, fruit breads, French bread, any kind of white breads, for making bread pudding, French toast casserole, breakfast casseroles, dinner casseroles, you name it. Waste not, want not. My grandmother never wasted anything.
Any vegetables left over from a veggie tray, or that have served their time in the frig and not been used, are put into a bag and frozen until I need to make soup. It is great because it is all right there and ready for me to pop out of the freezer and use.
These are just a few simple tips for the day. Many wonderful creations can come out of our left overs. Besides that, it helps to save on the budget.
Enjoy,
