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

Modified Once- A-Month Cooking Plan
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
Progress is Slow in the Vegetable Garden
We have not had any more losses, but we haven’t had much growth in the vegetable garden either. Since we have had two different snow storms blow through in the last week, I am content with survival! The spinach is roughly the same size it was last week, but it is being nibbled on. TimeRead More
Delicate, but Strong Flowers!
I love living in a valley most of the time. We have beautiful views of the mountains year round. However, when the wind whips through our little valley, I dream of living in a less aerodynamic terrain. It is not uncommon to have wind gusts in excess of 70 miles an hour and the dustRead More
Using Kid’s Art to Create Note Cards
I made note cards out of some of my children’s art work for the grandmothers and aunts at Christmas. They were very well received, so I am going to be making some for my husband’s mother for Mother’s Day. The paintings were too large for my scanner, so I took them to Office Depot toRead More
What Type of Plastic is In Your Tupperware?
When I decluttered my kitchen earlier in the month, I weeded out more of my plastic containers. I checked the recycling code (number in the triangle on the bottom of the item) and used this guide to help me decide if I wanted to keep the item. Most of the pieces of Tupperware that IRead More
Ideas for Reusing Tissue Boxes
I have mentioned before that we usually use handkerchiefs (I actually cut up soft pieces of flannel for my toddler; it is so much gentler on his little nose than even the softest paper tissue, but I digress). I do, however, keep Kleenex on hand for company so I occasionally have leftover boxes. Before IRead More
Dinner Menu – Week of April 26th
I have had a busy day resolving issues with the DMV on our truck so that I could legally pick up a load of hay for the horses. Now that I know the animals all have food, I can turn to the menu for my family. 😀 I found a few new recipes while IRead More
Frugal Rabbit Deterrents
Some plants like sunflowers, marigolds, and snap dragons which are supposed to be rabbit resistant are still vulnerable when they are seedlings. I don’t want to wait until my flowers are a foot tall and flowering before I put them outside, so I have developed a few tricks. One trick is to cut the bottomRead More
Sautéed Summer Squash and Zucchini
The seasoning for this dish was inspired by the Vegetable Lasagna I made last week. The zucchini layer was so delicious that I ate a lot of the zucchini slices that were intended for the lasagna. Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon olive oil1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced1 medium summer squash, thinly sliced1 teaspoon basil1 teaspoon oregano1 teaspoonRead More
Petals and Puddle Jumping
On Tuesday, I snuck out as the storm was rolling in to take pictures of our trees in bloom. Today, I patiently waited until the snow melted to take pictures of a few of our flowers. I am always amazed at how the pansies handle snow. We have dug the walk out of several feetRead More
The Trees Are Blooming
I woke up this morning and watched the sun disappear. It was replaced by dark clouds, high winds, thunder, and eventually horizontal rain. However, I decided to brave the elements to bring you pictures of some of our blooming trees. Our Weeping Cherry Tree has just begun to bloom. This tree is gorgeous once itRead More
Speeding Up Vegetable Prep
I was so pleased with the Vegetable Lasagna that when I found out a friend was having surgery, I decided to make it for her and her family. The memory of how long it took me to assemble the lasagna was fresh in my mind, so I was determined to find ways to reduce theRead More
Menu Plans Are More like Guidelines…
I make menu plans because it saves me time, money, and reduces our food waste. In a previous post, I shared how my menu planning has changed over time. I thought it would be nice to share how some of the bloggers I follow, do their menu planning: Laura at I’m Losing It creates aRead More

Vegetable Lasagna
My stepmom prepared this for my Dad’s birthday dinner. Fortunately for me she is a recipe sharer, because it is now one of my favorites! This recipe requires more prep time than most recipes in my repertoire, but it is definitely worth it. 45 minutes elapsed from the time I started chopping vegetables until IRead More
