Growing up, we often had "fend for yourself nights." My siblings and I would have to scrounge together whatever leftovers we could find. I usually ate cereal. It wasn't until the end of college that I actually learned to cook and bake. Although I am just basic at cooking and baking, I excel at never wasting food. I can look at random food and find a use for it somehow. That bag of soggy spinach, the 3 tablespoons of cocktail sauce, a 1/2 pot of rice? Don't throw it out! Read about how I use the random food in our refrigerator and hopefully you will be inspired to do the same.
