Fall is almost upon us, which is absolutely my favorite time of year! Not only because the leaves are about to change colors, it’s not quite as unbearably hot, and it’s the kickoff to my favorite holiday seasons. But because it’s the time of the […]
I have done it. I have created a dish that utilizes not only absolutely everything that I have in my refrigerator. Because I am nothing if not a fan of utilizing leftovers! But I have managed to make a dish that uses every single one […]
