One of my dinner criteria is that it should make good leftovers – suitable for lunch the next day, or maybe even dinner later in the week. That means it has to hold up in the fridge for a few days, it can’t take a lot of time or effort to reheat, and I have to want to eat it again. I discovered bean salads a few years ago, and they’re perfect for packing.

Pesto Pizza
I’ve learned that like life, cooking is all about adapting. Theodore Roosevelt perhaps said it best – “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” I found Beth Wiggans’ recipe for Tomato Pesto Tart on our website, because I had some leftover pesto, a sheet of puff pastry and a hungry family. The resulting Pesto Pizza was so easy, so tasty and fun to make!
Bacon Bacon BLT
I am a person who loves tomatoes. LOVES tomatoes. Unfortunately, I am married to a person who hates tomatoes and I understand that mine is not the only house divided over tomatoes. But you know what everyone loves? BACON! So, as a compromise, I serve Bacon Bacon BLTs.
