Creativity in the Kitchen

Another day of eating healthy vegetarian foods! No fancy new recipes were followed, just simple things like whole wheat toast and a grapefruit for breakfast. Dinner was leftovers because it was one of those evenings where everyone had to go in different directions.

However, even though a new recipe wasn't followed, that didn't stop creativity from flowing in the kitchen. Jeff is great for putting together things out of the fridge to make wonderful new meals. Tonight he took the leftover tomato-corn relish from the rosti that we had yesterday and added black beans and chopped green chilis. He then heated that up with some left over brown rice and wrapped it in a tortilla (with a little cheese) to make a burrito. Jeff topped the burrito with guacamole (a home made first!), salsa and sour cream (I didn't have sour cream). All I can say is, IT WAS REALLY GOOD!!!

So, the lesson here, don't be stifled when you look in the fridge. With a little creativity you can concoct your own wonderful dishes. Sure, you may not always be successful, but I bet most of the time that you will be pleasantly surprised!
