​“Life is a combination of magic and pasta.”  Federico Fellini

​Home late tonight... 
let's play, "What's in the fridge?" 
The rules: 

-can't take over 30 minutes from start to finish
-must primarily use items in the fridge that need to be "finished off"
-must be easy
-must taste delicious

Wa-Lah! Pasta ala Fridge Leftovers!



-Gluten Free pasta (admittedly not a leftover, but just like good underwear, a girl needs building blocks)
-Some uncooked ground chicken not used in the tacos the other night - about a quarter pound
-Sauteed with leftover homemade turkey stock about 3/4 cup
-Add left over homemade pizza sauce - about 1 cup (make sure it has balsamic vinegar in it :)
-Some cream... there was about 3/4 of a small carton left - to get all the dregs out and add flavor, swish it around with almost a full carton more of leftover white wine
-Keep bubbling this brew and add a tomato (there was one left in the produce drawer)
-Some left over grilled zucchini, chop it up 
-Lots of fresh garlic
-A generous amount of salt
-Drain your pasta and pour into the sauce

Put into bowls and top with some cheese if you have it, red pepper flakes and fresh ground pepper...
Delissimo!!

Potato Bar

One of my family's favorites for dinner... "Potato Bar". 

There are soooo many options depending upon what you have in your fridge. Italian, Mexican, breakfast, or Asian all on whole boiled potatoes! Just boil until soft, split one open, and top with your favorite toppings, or even "just what's in the fridge". You can go crazy with your choices or keep it simple... 

Breakfast potatoes? 
Top with scrambled eggs, sauteed spinach, cheese, crumbled bacon and green onions
Italian?
Pasta sauce, mozzarella cubes, dry cured salami cut in strips, chopped tomatoes, and some olives
Mexican?
Salsa, shredded chicken, cheese, sour cream, avocado, a bit of sauteed or raw shredded cabbage and green onions
You get the idea!

Tonight's assortment of toppings: 
Shredded cheese, feta cheese, bacon, sour cream, onions, salsa, wild cabbage salsa, sliced smoked turkey, sunflower sprouts, tomatoes, balsamic pan seared cabbage, wine glazed mushrooms, and a garlic-wine cheese sauce. Yum! 

And really SO easy!
