I can never know how much of what’s packed in the snack/lunch boxes that my kids take to school will come home again; they could be completely empty or barely touched. But when the kids come home after school I often give them a snack, and it usually starts with the leftovers from their boxes. Plated to share, with a few extras to bulk up the favourites or a treat added in, and they’re off to their allotted tv time. Pictured here: cheese crackers and plain ones, strawberries, snap peas, some homemade parsnip-spice loaf, a few candies, pretzel crackers, mango, cucumber. #afterschoolsnack #snackplate #kidssnack #fruitandcrackers #afternoonsnacks #treatsforkids

The trick to leftovers is using them in a new way… like adding some leftover sautéed kale and onions to your macaroni and cheese, along with (leftover!) garlic breadcrumbs from the fridge. I’m always saving leftover bits and pieces; they nearly always get used up somehow. Are you creative with leftovers? Do you reuse the dishes? #leftovers #lesswaste #leftoversreinvented

How do you like your brownies? Are you a purist who prefers them plain, would you like walnuts, or do you take it over the top with thick frosting and sprinkles? I like brownies with walnuts but whenever I add nuts to brownies or banana bread I hear a lot of familial complaints! #homemadedessert #chocolatebrownies #walnutbrownies #chocolatefrosting #chocolatebuttercream #brownieswithfrosting

What time of day do you think this is? Peanut butter melting into the dips of my cinnamon-raisin sourdough toast, and coffee with milk. 8am? 10:15am? 4:30pm?

I recently did some meal prep for someone else; there were a couple pieces of roasted chicken, some vegetable broth, a barley dish and these: quinoa w/roasted tomato & roasted squash; vermicelli & chickpeas w/parsley in a tomato-y broth; roasted potatoes; prepped veggies for salad. #helpingout
