Scribbles About Food:Exciting Things To Do With Leftovers

I just thought this might be fun to do. I love leftovers and here are just a couple things you can do with them.

Nachos 
A fun thing to do if you have leftover tacos meat or chili... or even just cheese and some salsa maybe. Just heat up the taco meat and melt some cheese on tortilla chips and over tortilla chips. I think you can do this in the oven or microwave... I just do the microwave... I think the oven would maybe overcook the chips and make them a little soggy... but the microwave works just fine.

Queso Dip 
Along the same lines as the nachos, Queso Dip is easy... just melt some cheese with some salsa and you've got a nice, tasty queso. I think it works best if you have cube cheese... but I think it would work if you had the pre-shredded cheese.

Quesadillas 
Definite Mexican food theme here... lol. If you have some grilled chicken and some cheese and tortillas, its very easy to make a quesadilla. You could probably do something breakfasty with this too. I did this in college a lot, not necessarily with leftovers, but I used a panini press to do it... you could use a foreman grill or just kind of flatten it on a frying pan. This is really yummy.

Make it a sandwich! 
If you're just bored with whatever leftovers you have, make it a sandwich! See what happens! It's not bad!

Breakfast Potatoes 
If you have leftover potatoes you could probably fry them up and make them into breakfast potatoes... but I'm talking more about actual Breakfast Potato leftovers. I go to diners a lot and order breakfast food and you've gotta get breakfast potatoes right? If you microwave it with some cheese its sort of a fun brunch-y potato! Really yummy and just kind of a fun little treat.

So those are things to do with leftovers! Nothing revolutionary or unheard of... just a few little tips for what to do with this food! Let me know what you think... I might do this from time to time... I don't really do too many different things with leftovers... but these are just some easy things for lazy people like me!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
