Food Fare: Website helps familes handle all those leftovers
Beth Bellor of Bay City e-mailed us to say she had half of a large cabbage left over from a recipe, and because they dont eat much cabbage and do not enjoy cole slaw, she was stumped on what to do with the leftovers.
Beths husband loves cabbage rolls, she said, so this Stuffed Cabbage Casserole recipe she found at bigoven.com.
Beth says BigOven is a fabulous resource for ways to utilize leftover ingredients,
I have used it for when I had odd things around, such as coconut milk, and also when I just need a new way to turn chicken, onions and carrots into dinner, she said.
To find a recipe, go to bigoven.com/recipes/leftovers and choose up to three ingredients or flavors. They can be as basic as eggs or as specific as Scotch bonnet chilies. You also can refine the search to exclude ingredients youre allergic to or just dont like.
Heres the Stuffed Cabbage Casserole. It uses 2 pounds of meat and a 9×13 pan, so its good for a big family or a potluck: bigoven.com
