Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Dad's Left-Over's Concoction


Open refrigerator.
Size up what's in there.  (Meats, veggies, sauces, cheeses, etc.)
Heat butter in a pan.  Saute refrigerator goods.  Add cooked spaghetti noodles.  Crack eggs, and pour over sautéed mixture, add salt and pepper to taste.  Cook until eggs are done, sprinkle grated cheese over it, and serve when cheese is melted.

Tips for Using Up Left-Overs

My methods for using up left-overs include, but are not limited to:

* scrambling eggs, throwing in the left-overs and melting cheese on top!  (Always a crowd pleaser, and you can hide a lot of stuff under cheese and between eggs.)
* throwing the left-overs inside of a quesadilla.  (Pretty much the same idea as with the scrambled eggs.)
* throwing the left-overs inside of the dough of a cresent roll and baking up according to the directions. (Everything's better wrapped in a cresent roll!)
* announcing that we are eating at LEFTY'S, and letting my family order from what's available on the "menu."
* and, when the left-overs are questionable, giving it to the dog.

This goes for anything from vegetables, to meats, to rice & pasta, and even includes using up sauces.
