For a recent dinner, we had what K refers to as a "clean the pantry"
meal. These meals are quite easy and require just a few simple steps; 1)
find and chop every fresh veggie in your house, 2) pick a meat from the
freezer 3) put everything in a dutch oven with some broth/wine 4) put
it all in the oven for 2 hours 5) eat. As usual, it turned out
delicious, but there was one problem....

| ...leftovers. The whole idea behind "clean the panty" meals is to avoid waste. So, time for another idea. |
 |
| Put the leftover veggies in a blender. Ours included asparagus, potatoes, peppers, corn, mushrooms, beets, sweet onions, scallions, carrots and celery. Add some fresh garlic, olive oil, 2 cans of drained chick peas, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth. |
 |
| Dip your favorite veggie, cracker, chip or bread into your leftover veggie hummus! |
 |
| Genius? Not really, but it sure does make the perfect snack and beats wasting food! |
