I wish I had a camera when I told the kids I was putting dried fruit in this Autumn Bark recipe. The look on their faces was priceless.

My daughter: “So your goal is to create a candy that no one will eat?”

Me: “Name one candy recipe that I have made that has been less than totally awesome”.

My daughter: “There’s always a first. You’ve never put dried fruit in candy before”.

Me: “That you know of…bwahaha”.

After the exchange, I did start to doubt myself. It wasn’t like I had ever tasted a bark made with dried fruit, it was just an impulsive idea that I decided to act on. Fortunately, my worry was for not.

The combination was absolutely delicious! The dried fruit remains slightly chewy in the bark and reminded me of eating a fruit nougat candy. All of my kids, including my ever skeptical daughter, enjoyed it.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
