<\/a><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a party, I’m often left with a fair amount of washed and trimmed vegetables — I love it because it’s a convenient, healthy snack to have ready, but after a few days it gets a little boring, thus I hunt for other ways to use ’em.\u00a0 I TRY to make something different\u00a0each time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This time with Iceberg Lettuce\u00a0and an abundance of Cucumbers on hand, I made a simple Salad with\u00a0a Cucumber Dressing<\/strong> — I’d link the recipe, if it was good, but it\u00a0wasn’t.\u00a0 I’ve yet to master the flavor I’m searching for in a Cucumber Dressing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the latest party\u00a0inspiring this batch of\u00a0ideas<\/a>, I cooked Eggs over\u00a0leftover Salsa, which I loved having (over and over again) with a side of Sour Cream.\u00a0 I’ve since made and purchased more Salsa to make the same.\u00a0 I can’t stop eating Eggs Over Salsa<\/strong>\u00a0for breakfast and dinner.\u00a0\u00a0It’s\u00a0simple and fabulous with or without Tortillas,\u00a0Chips or Toast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This time I roasted the Carrots<\/strong> with a little Olive Oil and\u00a0Spice Blend I found locally.\u00a0\u00a0Carrots are always good roasted in the oven, but were better last time\u00a0with Olive Oil, White Balsamic Vinegar and S & P —\u00a0Past ideas are linked here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A tasty\u00a0Artichoke Heart, Olive and Tomato Bruschetta Dip that was leftover from the same party<\/a> was cooked and served over Angel Hair Pasta — Why not?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there’s Celery, which always stumps me — The best thing I’ve made thus far is\u00a0Cream of Celery Soup<\/a> and this time I made a Braised Celery<\/strong> and don’t see its appeal.\u00a0 I followed a highly ranked recipe, but yawn was the consensus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If not in a Soup or a mirepoix, I might prefer good old-fashioned Celery with Peanut Butter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peppers roasted in the oven with Olive Oil, White Balsamic Vinegar and S & P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Asian Cucumber Salad<\/strong> made with\u00a0Rice Wine Vinegar, Canola and Sesame Oil, Honey, Soy Sauce,\u00a0fresh grated (or powdered) Ginger, Red Pepper Flakes and S & P.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And with the leftover sliced Oranges, bar garnishes from the night before, I made Candied Orange Slices<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve always wanted to make them — What better time?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe I used from The Repressed Pastry Chef — Candied Orange Slices<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Candied Oranges<\/a> – I’ll use this recipe again.\u00a0 They turned out great and weren’t bitter at all, as some are reported to be.\u00a0 I think one key is to cook them for a fair amount of time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Until the next leftovers…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
