Sometimes, you just want to have your dinner like… right now! No slicing, no dicing, no simmering. Just something quick to whip up. But good.
Solution? Breakfast. Yep, good ol’ breakfast for dinner. So, let’s see what we’ve got left in the fridge?
Well, there’s a slice of whole wheat bread left in the pantry that I was going to throw out to the birds (sorry, tweeties). There’s a couple of eggs, a few turkey pepperoni slices and some scallions for garnish.
Oh, and did I see a can of French’s Fried Onions? Perfect!

Yes! Cook from what you have rather than buy what you need to cook. I’ve only learned that kitchen strategy this year with my entry into gardening. I can’t believe how much it has changed my dinner hours. I still have to stick with a major nightly protein or my cat would walk out. But other than that, my cooking has gained some real flexibility.

And it is fun being creative with leftovers instead of just being a slave to a fixed recipe.

I totally agree with you Chris. I always create new recipe from left overs. I hate wasting food!
