Reinventing Leftovers
One of this battlemom’s responsibilities is to prepare delicious and nutritious (most of the time) meals. Every family has a meal time routine, and please don’t judge me too harshly, because mine consists of one meal for the kids and usually a separate later meal for parents. Occasionally I can entice my two boys into at least trying what I am making for myself, but most of the time they subsist on a decidedly beige diet. Luckily the girl child eats almost anything.

My motto is; “if I can make it better and cheaper at home why bother going to a restaurant”. I am a very good cook and baker and the only thing I really dislike is fennel, so mealtime in my house is excellent. I try to prepare mostly healthy meals, but sometimes a girl just needs a bacon cheese burger (with a green vegetable of course).
I happen to hate left overs, so when I am faced with them I cringe. Lately, though I have been making a conscious effort to waste as little food as possible and creatively reinvent my leftovers. It can really be challenging, but rewarding when you get a true winner and a great recipe.
