Hi All! This is more of a tip than a recipe, but sometimes it falls into the recipe category.
Well I am sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, but I really don’t like wasting things. Especially food. I do end up throwing away more then I’d like to admit and I find myself literally apologizing to the Lord as I’m dumping out yet another container of left-overs that we didn’t use up.
This tip is for the mountain of french fries that get left behind from a dinner out. It seems as though some restaurants give you a plate of fries that surely came from the entire ten pound bag of potatoes! It pains me to leave behind so many fries, because unless I’ve missed a trick, fries are just awful in the microwave. So here is what I do now…
Cut the fries into cubes. pour enough cooking oil into a large skillet to coat the bottom of the pan. Dice up some onion and some green,red, yellow, or orange bell peppers (or all three if you’d like) and toss those in as well. Saute’ them until heated through, on medium low heat.
They are so yummy in a hash like this… much better then the microwave and you no longer have to leave all those lonely fries on the table! Hope you get a chance to try this. It’s a great excuse to have a date night with your spouse or a lunch date with a friend.
This is Me
Hi, I’m Cyndi! I am a wife to a wonderful God-fearing man for almost twenty years. I am a mom to an ambitious comedic eighteen-year-old son and a spirited fun-loving sixteen-year-old daughter. I love to cook, create anything I can think of to make, talk and visit with friends and even strangers, and of course I love to write. Along with the writing, I love to read what other people write as well. I would love to live in the south somewhere but for now I live more in the suburbs of a town in Michigan. Oh yeah… and I’m almost blind. This means that I have to do things a little differently. It takes a little more time and a little more patience to get things done, but they get done. I was told of my eye disease when I was nine years old. At forty-four, they still cannot diagnose what I have for certain. However, I won’t sit still while they try and figure it out. Each day brings different challenges and some of the same as well. Navigating new territory is the most difficult thing for me to do, but I refuse to be held back and take the chance on missing out on an exciting new adventure. My bucket list holds adventures like parasailing, visiting Ireland, having at least one book published, and I’m sure there are more that I haven’t listed yet. Painting word pictures is my therapy and sanctuary. I use life as my brushes and paint. Lite me a candle, put on the spa music and a-writing I will go. Come on this journey with me, I hope you can find some new colors you like.
