I think we’re all pretty aware of my general distaste of leftovers. I’ve just never been a fan! Tonight was definitely an exception though. After Ross’ wonderful evening in the kitchen last night I decided to use up some of the leftovers in a new way. Items to be used: half a can of garbanzo beans, the last of the brussel sprouts, and the last of the filling from last night’s stuffed brussel sprouts (diced artichoke hearts, olives, almonds). I combined all of the above with some frozen spinach (thawed) and a very small spaghetti squash that I had roasted. I threw the mixture in a small rectangular Pyrex dish and covered with some bread crumbs seasoned with paprika, oregano and garlic powder. 20 minutes later at 400 degrees and we have a completely different meal that used up several different leftovers!
One problem: Now we have plenty of leftovers of this! Good thing it was tasty and Ross loves taking leftovers for lunch! I just may try these cold tomorrow (our microwave at work is dead).
What better way to top a tasty dinner than with dessert, especially when the dessert is as guilt-free as banana soft serve topped with reduced fat unsweetened coconut flakes and some Godiva very dark chocolate with almonds.
Love that banana soft serve. Fun fact – did you know that I have a VERY hard time stomaching plain bananas, but I love them frozen (or baked in goodies)? Please tell me I’m not the only one with a picky palate.
Good night!
P.S. Anyone else think that if they’re going to drop close to a couple benjamins on sneakers, they darn well better run for me?


I’m the same with bananas! The smell literally makes me want to be sick, but I love banana bread/muffins/etc. So strange :p
I’m the same with bananas too! I gag if I try to eat them raw – I think it’s definitely a texture thing. But in baked goods etc, they’re so yummy!
Love your blog – and I’m jealous of your Vitamixer!
I love all frozen fruits. Yummm!!! Also with the shoes, I normally only pay about 75 – 100 bucks but I also use them all the time. I have to go a little cheaper because I replace my running shoes every 6 months or so due to miles
Dang, those shoes are a lot! I try to pay at most $100. I wear out my sneakers much faster than average and dropping close to $200 every time would be killer on the wallet.
I have a similar thing with grapes. I love fresh grapes, but the thought of anything grape flavored makes me ill.
I can’t stomach plain bananas either!!! I LOVE them, but they make me sick!!! It’s sad
But I’m glad I’m not alone!
ahhhh i have been DYING to dry banana soft serve!!! i first saw it on someone’s blog a few months ago, and in hope to try it i threw some naners in the freezer. Stupid me, I threw it in with the SKIN on. Let’s just say I scraped at it for a good half hour before giving up and realizing that there was no banana soft serve in my future
I’m actually going to go in the kitchen right now and freeze some bananas WITHOUT the skin
:)
I love the soft serve banana! I had forgotten about it.
OMMGG cuuute asics! Those are always my go-to sneaks, i hope they dooo run for you haha, and i hope u feel better lady!
