I really make them all year long, however, it's a must to repurpose Easter-colored eggs that are leftover or we always making them on National Deviled Egg Day on November 2nd.

Ditalini with Pork and Peas

Saturday, March 12, 2016
Ditalini with Pork and Peas is tiny pasta with meat sauce and peas.


Grandma called this depression food as it was an inexpensive meal her mom growing up that fed the whole family easily on a budget.


This dish really can be made with any kinds of beans, meats, or pasta.


The meal is quick and easy to prepare besides being delicious and we make this often on cooler days.


My grandmother would always make this during the week to finish up any leftover Sunday sauce and whatever meat was in the sauce instead of boneless pork meat as we do now.


Again as I mentioned any meat or even meatless is fine the sauce is delicious

Slow Cooker Venison Stew with Brown Gravy

Thursday, March 10, 2016
This slow cooker venison stew is a foolproof way to tenderize deer meat and the brown gravy is totally the best-tasting gravy to dunk your bread into.

Even though this is a staple in the winter months, I love it with all fresh vegetables in the summer when they are plentiful using frozen deer meat from the winter catch.

The fresh string beans, garden tomatoes and really this basic stew can be made with any meat including chicken, lamb, or of course what you can here for deer meat.

Slowly cooking these chunks makes a very fork-tender and very flavorful stew so it's really a great recipe all the way around.

Baked Pulled Barbecued Chicken

Sunday, March 6, 2016
Baked Pulled Barbecued Chicken is the perfect easy way to feed a hungry crowd and large family.

The recipe is super easy since all you do is mix all the barbecue sauce ingredients, pour it over the chicken and bake until it falls apart and fork tender.

Of course, if you prefer another part of the chicken besides the breast meat just make sure it's boneless when baking.

One other way to make this recipe is in a slow cooker just dump in the ingredients and let it cook on high for around 4 to 6 hours.

Shredded chicke are the perfect leftovers for topping nachos, lunches piled high in a roll or even in a taco for Taco Tuesday!

I used tomato sauce in can for this however I know folks love tomato soup so feel free to adapt this recipe to how your used to making stuffed cabbage rolls.

I have even mixed leftovers, meats just about anything can go in this skillet-style deconstructed stuffed cabbage.

I just love repurposing leftovers and this quick throw-together meal is just delicious and has just a few extra ingredients in it to taste like you made it from scratch.
