Hey, there! This is episode 2 of my “Leftovers Remix” segment on Blessings In Surprise! (If you missed episode 1, check it out here for a scrumptious beef and cheddar pasta!)
Today we are creating a delicious chicken taco casserole using leftovers from the salad bar we put out for my daughter’s birthday party.
I am having a ton of fun with these remixes and we have so much less food waste because of it! This week,I… Read More »
Do you have trouble getting your family to eat leftovers? I sure do! It is incredible that they can literally DEVOUR a meal and tell me how delicious is it one day, but try to get them to eat any of the leftovers later that week, and they just turn their noses up at it.
This dilemma led me to start “disguising” the leftovers by creating something new with the same ingredients. And thus, a new segment of my blog is born… “Leftovers Remix”! Allow me to officially welcome you to the first installment!
In this edition of Leftovers Remix, we are going to create a delicious beef and cheddar pasta using scraps from this past week’s meals!
It’s that time of year again! The time when those who do not suffer from food allergies are out stuffing their faces at the local fish fry every week, while I can only reminisce and dream about the time when I used to be one of them.

We live in Western Pennsylvania where deer meat (venison) is a very popular commodity. If you’ve never had it, I recommend trying it! It is a very lean red meat, and a great alternative to beef if you are trying to be more health conscious. We like it best in tacos, chili or with BBQ sauce.
Since we eat a lot of deer meat, I try to come up with new … Read More »

This recipe is a delicious way to enjoy a satisfying pasta dish, even if you have food allergies! Sometimes I even substitute this allergen-free version in place of my regular “Pasta with Garlic, Butter, Lemon and Parsley” recipe, and my family still likes the flavor!
