I love a good cheese board - I mean who doesn't. They are the perfect appetizer for when you have company over, or sometimes in my case, just dinner!
What I don't love is the half eaten cheese after all of your guests have gone. Do you save it? Do you toss it? Are you really going to use up that quarter of goat cheese? The answer is to save it and make mac n cheese!
Read MoreMy fridge is filled with summer flavors these days. I pretty much only want to eat corn, zucchini and tomatoes for the next couple of months.
Read MoreShrimp are one of the things that I keep on hand in my freezer. Since they defrost so well they create so many different easy weeknight dinners.
In today's fridge foraging you all chose shrimp scampi. Shrimp scampi is one of those classic dishes that comes together really easily and taste like a millions dollars. It is pretty hard to beat the garlic, wine, and butter trifecta.
Read MoreI swear that most of the food that I eat comes in bowl form. Who needs a plate when you can just pile everything into a huge bowl!
In this week’s fridge foraging you all chose the smoked salmon bowl over the coconut curry stuffed sweet potatoes. The bowl is filled with brown rice, smoked salmon, pickled vegetables, avocado, and served with Sriracha mayo. Hearty and healthy and proves that food in bowl form just tastes better.
Read MoreI took a couple weeks off from cooking after the baby came - we were surviving on the generosity of food from our friends. I am back now and it feels great to be cooking again and obviously fridge foraging again.
Tonight the options were either chicken noodle soup or naan with all the toppings and the naan won. Great choice since I can never turn down a fried egg.
Read MoreThe choice was very apparent in today's fridge foraging - it was between cauliflower soup and a springtime croque monsieur and there was an overwhelming response for a croque monsieur. And I don't blame you! How could you not want to have toasty pieces of bread smothered in a cheesy bechamel sauce topped with turkey, asparagus, and peas? It is a total winner of a recipe and super fun to make on the latest episode of fridge foraging

Read MoreSo if you haven't seen the news on Instagram....we have moved to Nashville! It was a whirlwind move but we are thrilled to be here. Because of the move, I skipped last week's fridge foraging but am back this week! With the move and just general life craziness, my fridge isn't the most well stocked it has ever been....but that is the point of fridge foraging - to make something out of nothing.
Read MoreLet me tell you, this is a total winner of a recipe. For this week's fridge foraging we are using store bought pizza dough and topping with ricotta, caramelized onions and some frozen vegetables. This recipe might be one for the ages! Love the combo of caramelized onions and ricotta on crispy/chewy flatbread.
Read MoreFor this week's fridge foraging you all chose the tacos. Which is perfect because I have been CRAVING all the tacos lately. These tacos are filled with slow cooked salmon, topped with a spicy mayo and all the toppings.

Read MoreI am not sure what to call this - it is a salad or a noodle dish? Whatever it is, it is a delicious creation in this week's fridge foraging. The peanut sauce is the clear winner with so much flavor, it would work well with just about any salad or asian inspired noodle bowl.
Read MoreTonight's fridge foraging used chicken thighs, stale bread, fingerling potatoes and lemon. It is a play on the famous Zuni Cafe Chicken with bread salad.
Read MoreThis week's fridge foraging is what to do with all of my leftover greens.
We drove home from Montana to LA on Monday and I had a ton of greens that I didn't use in Montana so they made the long trek to LA with us. Needless to say they had seen better days. What to do with them? Make an updated version of baked eggs with kale, tomatoes and chickpeas.
