I would prefer to have magazine cover kitchen counters: completely clear, except for the strategically placed bowl of fruit. I also wish that everyone who resided in my house realized that wiping down the counters was part of cleaning the kitchen, but I digress. I have come to realize that some clutter is good forRead More
Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
I am not even going to try to pass these cookies off as healthy, but I am linking this up to Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays at Simply Sugar & Gluten Free because I was able to reduce the sugar of the original recipe by 25 percent by using date sugar. Date sugar can be used cup forRead More
Pasta with Alfredo Sauce and Chicken
I injured my shoulder, so not only am I slacking on my blog posts, I am slacking in the kitchen. This is what I made on Sunday evening. It is a fast and easy one pot meal. I used leftover chicken, cooked the vegetables with the pasta, and used a gussied up, jarred sauce toRead More
Repurposing #7 Plastic Food Containers
I have been ruthlessly decluttering my house in preparation for a move that will occur a little over a year from now. I know it probably seems a bit early, but since I don’t know where we are moving or how we are getting there, this allows me to channel all of my fear ofRead More
Gluten-Free Cola Cake
This cake should be banned, it is so addictive. Seriously, it is so good, you can feed it to glutenavores (what do you call people who eat gluten?) and they will not know that they are eating a gluten free dessert. Unfortunately, I didn’t do it justice when I photographed it. Besides the sugar, fats,Read More
Chicken and Rice Soup
This quick and easy chicken and rice soup recipe with carrots, celery, and onion is tasty! It uses leftover chicken and rice to save time. I was determined not to have any food waste this week, so I took stock of the things that were a little old and decided to find a way toRead More
Gluten-Free Bread Flour Mix
While I enjoy experimenting with gluten-free flours, I also like to keep a couple of flour mixes on hand so that I can easily whip up cookies, muffins, or a cake without having to go through the process of measuring several different types of flours. Both of the below recipes can be used cup forRead More
Menu Plan – The Mama is Sick Edition
Last week’s menu had my family scheduled to enjoy Mother’s Day Dinner with friends. Unfortunately, Rew and I both came down with a cold on Saturday. My older kids demonstrated their mad microwaving skills and heated up a freezer meal to make Pulled Pork for my Mother’s Day dinner. Last week, I saw several recipesRead More
Managing Your Retirement Investments
I realize that you are used to visiting on Mondays and reading about menu plans, but I want to talk about something more important: your retirement plan. In writing this post, I am going to assume that you are taking full advantage of any company plans, 401Ks, or IRAs for which you qualify. Most peopleRead More
Dead Roses Aren’t Much Fun!
Today, I received the latest edition of my free Home Depot Garden Club Newsletter. I was very excited to discover that this edition includes a buy one get one free coupon for roses. I lost several rose bushes in our unusually cold winter. In fact, right now only 3 of 8 bushes are showing signsRead More
Square Foot Garden Update
I wish I had more to report. However, the tomatoes, peppers, and squash are still living in my temporary green house. I moved them from the garage to the greenhouse, so that I could roll up the door and hopefully the bees would discover their flowers. I am hoping to plant them next weekend afterRead More
Summer Comes Earlier to my Front Yard
I live in zone 4, but the microclimate in my front yard is almost zone 5. Which means that I can plant the same varieties in my front yard and back yard and they will flower earlier in the front yard. It also means that autumn comes later to my front yard. Why do IRead More
Gluten-Free Strawberry Kiwi Muffins
This Gluten-Free Strawberry Kiwi Muffins recipe is a spring favorite in my home! These muffins are not as healthy as some of my other muffin recipes, but they are oh, so good! My oldest son refers to them as exotic breakfast food. My daughter calls them ugly cupcakes. I like my son’s description better. However,Read More
When are Flowers Unwelcome?
My husband and I have different answers to this question. My husband does not like flowers in his lawn, though I believe a great lawn should contain a few dandelions and a small patch of clover. Well, it should if children ever play on it. My husband wants our lawn to look like my Dad’s:Read More
Baking with Brown Rice Syrup and Gluten-Free German Chocolate Cake
This is my husband’s favorite cake of all time! This is the recipe that he repeatedly requests. And when I say repeatedly, I mean over and over and over again. The cake is very moist, has a distinct chocolate flavor, but is not overly sweet. I used a combination of honey and brown rice syrupRead More

There are some ingredients in this recipe that are not found in most pantries, so please adapt this recipe to what you have on hand, it is very forgiving. Ingredients: 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup peanutRead More
Dinner Menu Plan – Week of May 3rd
Sometimes I wonder why I post my dinner menus. It seems a little silly to broadcast to the world what we are eating at Chez Leftovers. However, I find a lot of recipe ideas from viewing other blogger’s menus, so it only seems fair that I return the favor. When viewing other blogger’s menus and recipes,Read More

Once A Month Cooking can be adapted to whatever you want or need it to be. Not a casserole person, then don’t make any. Like to use lots of fresh vegetables in salads and stir-frys, then pre-cook meat, beans, and rice to use in those meal and then add fresh vegetables the night you prepareRead More
