Leftovers

Breakfast cereal

  • Use leftover breakfast cereal in muffins. Delicious when mixed with stewed apple and rhubarb. – D.G.

Cake

  • If you have left over cake, biscuits, trifle sponge, etc turn it into a steamed pudding. Just mix all together, bind with a little milk, put a dollop of jam or golden syrup in the bottom of the steamed pudding bowl and drop in your mixture. Steam for about one hour. - D.M.
General
  • Every one has left overs and they go in the fridge and come out a week later nothing like when they went in, OK put them in but the next day pack them in what ever containers you have and put into the freezer, when you have enough to 1/2 fill a casserole dish in a bowl mix 1 cup cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 4 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup flour, salt & pepper, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, {and any other herb you have in the garden] and if you have silver beet in the garden about 10 leaves sliced up fine with stalks, mix it up and pour over your casserole dish and stir to just mix ,if you have tomatoes to use up slice over the top, bake about 30 to 45 min's [depends on what your left overs are] until it starts to leave the sides and is a nice brown top, eat hot with a salad or cold as a lunch slice, you can add cooked meat or raw fish or a can of salmon as a treat. - Blueberry, Picton.
