But I don't want to throw it out!

Do you ever get caught in the kitchen conundrum of whether or not to throw your food out? I have a tendency to do my best to keep all of my food, unless its expired, and find a use for it. Heres some suggestions for what to do with those odds and ends in your cupboards and fridge.

What do I do with the odds and ends of crackers, they're all broken, and going stale?
- Grind up your crackers, mix with salt and pepper to taste and some parmesean cheese. Put on chicken as a baked breading! I highly recommend using vegetable crackers.

My leftover cookies aren't looking so hot.
-Mix them with ice cream! My favourite is leftover golden oreos with vanilla ice cream.

My veggies are getting too soft but I don't have enough for a salad.
-add the veggies to chicken stock to add some extra flavor
-add the good pieces of veggies to your eggs or a quiche (check the recipe in a previous blog!)
-cook them and freeze if you don't want to cook them right away.

My yogurt and/or milk is going to expire.
-make foods that require a lot of milk or dairy
*french toast, cake mixes, eggs etc.
-make a homemade pudding or custard!
