Turning Scraps in fridge Into a Meal
Last night, I faced a classic end-of-week scenario: a can of beans, a scoop of rice, and a bit of cheese. Instead of giving in to takeout, I got to work. Beans went into a hot pan with garlic powder, rice was steamed until fluffy, and everything got layered in a dish with cheese before a quick bake.
The result was a meal that hit all the marks—protein, carbs, and flavor.
No fancy ingredients, just solid technique and a focus on not wasting anything. It’s easy to overlook what’s already in the kitchen, but stretching those last few items is where you really see what you can do.
