Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Leftovers Makeovers
For last week's Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to glamorize your meals from previous evenings for a challenge we dubbed Leftovers Makeovers. For this challenge we were looking for not only resourcefulness but also the kind of creativity that elevates leftovers from boring to brilliant. Here's a look at some of our favorite ideas for repurposing the contents of your Tupperware.How to Use Up Leftover Herbs
Last week I shared some tips on how to keep your herbs fresh for longer. It's all well and good to keep them around, but hardly worth it if they languish in your fridge for a couple of weeks. Here are my favorite tricks for using up those last couple inches of chives and that final sprig of basil that just won't go away.Things to Do with Leftover Easter Eggs
So the eggs were boiled, decorated, hidden, found, then just sat around in baskets atop faux grass. Now what to do with all of those freaking eggs? From the obvious egg salad and deviled eggs to salad nicoise, here is your inspiration for post-Easter egg re-purposing.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Stale Bread Salvation
Last week on the Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to share ideas for what to do with those leftover baguettes, ryes, boules, pullmans, and bollilos for a challenge we called Stale Bread Salvation. Our search for creative uses for leftover loaves covered everything from soups and salads to sweet and savory puddings. Let's take a look at some of our stale bread saviors.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Thanksgiving Leftover Derby
Last week for our Weekend Cook and Tell, we asked all of you to put your Thanksgiving leftovers to good use with a challenge we called Thanksgiving Leftover Derby. The goal was to take your leftovers and do a little more than eat them straight out the the Tupperware or as a sandwich. All of those leftovers proved to be quite the muse for this week's challenge, let's take a look at some of our most inspired creations.How Do You Build Your Shepherd's Pie?
Whether to use up leftovers or as a creation all on its own, shepherd's pie is an ultimate comfort food. But as I began experimenting with various ways to make the dish spicy compared to my tried and true recipe, I realized creativity can be utilized in each layer for a new spin on the classic, like with my Shepherd's Pie with Jalapeno-Pea Purée recipe.What to Do with Leftover Easter Eggs
You put all that effort into decorating and hiding the Easter eggs—now what? Eat egg salad sandwiches all week, but of course. The hard-boiled eggs should last about a week in the fridge. We've rounded up our favorite egg salad recipes (curried, Grandma's classic, and one with sardines) and when you get sick of those, there's always deviled eggs, Niçoise salad, and more.Cooking the Perfect Pot of Asian Porridge
"When life gives you bad rice, make porridge." [Photographs: Chichi Wang] Quiet dinners at home usually begin with my rice cooker. Using the plastic measuring cup that comes with the cooker, I scoop out exactly one cup, fill the basin to the requisite water level, and the all-important matter of having perfectly cooked rice to accompany my meal is done. Except this time around, I couldn't locate the measuring cup. I rifled through my cabinets and found, among other choice items, ten different types of flours (when was the last time I used that bag of fava bean flour?), five separate bags of glutinous rice, and several cans of coconut milk strewn about, each purchased absentmindedly for fear of running...Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 96: Can There Be Moral Victories for Serious Dieters?
Thanksgiving leftovers, a latke and brisket-filled Chanukah party, a chocolate chip cookie tasting, and last night's ten-course meal—help! Thanksgiving leftovers by themselves are a buttery, greasy, slippery slope when it comes to serious dieting. Nothing good can come of availing yourself of the copious amounts of mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, and worst of all, pie. But then in my case, I add diet insult to injury by throwing in another early Chanukah party's worth of fattening leftovers into the mix. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty week. Let me explain. We had my wife's family over on Thanksgiving at 2 p.m., which means we're digging into leftovers by Thursday night. But because I was weighing in on Friday...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
