The Beauty of Hodge-Podge

You look into your fridge and see a bag of celery, crispy baby carrots, maybe a few other random vegetables a few days from going bad, and leftover chicken you bought fresh roasted from the grocery store.  

It has been a long day and your not really in the mood to cook anything extravagant.
But you are also starving, on the brink of breakdown- and the cookies mom forced on you are calling your name.

What to do?

This is where the beauty of hodge podge will reveal itself to you.


When you don't know what to make, throw everything you have into a skillet and cook it.  This is basically an anything stir-fry, and it is the method of cooking I use the most.


** Important to note, it does not have to be smothered in oriental sauce to be delicious.

Simply use your favorite seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and the vegetables will bring their own flavor to the table as well, doing most of the hard work for you.  When all else fails, this will save you the inconvenience of thought, and its a fairly quick way to whip up something nutritious.

Plus, when you make a lot, you can save the leftovers and mix them with other dishes throughout the week!
