It’s been so mild outside these days; I’m continuing to bring in bunches of fresh parsley from my garden. I expect this will be the last, though… it IS November! #backyardgarden #veggiegarden #veggiegardening #freshherbs #herbsfromthegarden #flatparsley #italianparsley #herbsonthewindowsill

Halloween night in

Many of my family’s snacks, and even weekend lunches, look like this! (The boards below! Not the candies above!) And…

Just at the stage where this mix goes from looking like dusty powder to rich chocolatey goo. The anticipation! #homebaking #changes

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
