Something Out of Nothing

Exhibit A: The nearly empty refrigerator

Exhibit B: A light dinner, created from the ingredients in the nearly empty refrigerator

So, I haven't posted in a while. Mostly because Shane and I got engaged last month and I have been working on things for the wedding. Besides that fact, the other day my mom and I both worked all day and were both really hungry. The only problem was that we had not been to the store in a while and didn't want to go out. Our fridge was pretty bare and at first I thought there was no way I could create a meal out of anything in there, but then I looked closer. I found three small bell peppers, spring mix lettuce, home made garlic dill salad dressing, pumpernickel bread, a soft french cheese, cottage cheese, peaches, and a liver pate (can't make the correct symbol for that lol,). For the salad I chopped up the peppers, shredded the cheese, dressed it and had a unique entree. Then I cut slices of the pumpernickel, buttered them and placed the liver pate on top. I finished the dish with the cottage cheese and peach side dish. While eating it I realized that I had nearly every food group accounted for on my plate. I had a meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and grains. It may not have been the most extravagant meal but I take pride in creating something out of nothing. So next time your fridge is bare, take a closer look and see if you can create something new:).
