A CHALLENGE For You: Got Leftovers?

by Catherine Ipcizade | More from this Blogger

Tell Me About Your Leftovers and I'll Give You A Recipe-a challenge for my readers and challenge for me!

We all have those days (or weeks) when we don't feel like cooking, when the meals of the week have been baked, broiled and fried and all that's left is mismatched vegetables, a few stray pieces of string cheese, and some leftover something-or-the-other that you cooked during the week. Instead of staring endlessly into the fridge and winding up on the phone with pizza delivery, how about taking me up on my offer?

This is my challenge-if you dare to tell me what's in your fridge (edible only-nothing expired or with mold, etc.) I'll give you a recipe. That way, you can clean out your fridge and you won't have to waste the money you spent buying those ingredients in the first place.

Sound good? Just pop me a Private Message with the subject "Leftovers" and I'll get right on it.

For those of you who like to cook, creating recipes is a joy rather than a chore. I love finding ingredients and figuring out how to make them work together. I love the challenge of putting dinner on the table-fast-with ingredients I didn't realize I still had. Yes, it's sometimes daunting. Yes, I admit that with two small kids running around I don't always have the time to fix dinner, and yes, I do think drive-thrus can be our friend. But on the whole, I've enjoyed cooking for years now, and I look forward to possibly inspiring some creativity in your own kitchen.

So that's the skinny-tell me about your leftovers, whatever they are, and I'll do my darndest to come up with a recipe you and your family will enjoy.

Happy searching! Can't wait to hear what you come up with!
