We love leftovers at our home. Great ideas for using up leftovers. Now that the kids are gone and it is just the hubby and I it's good to know how to use the leftovers. Thank you!!

...regarding dehydrating bananas....I tried this a couple of times...once dunking them in lemon juice (to retard browning) and once 'naked'. Both times, the batches were a waste. Both were bitter and kinda burnt tasting. I thought maybe I had them in too long, but I watched them closely and I never did get it right.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on dehydrating bananas. Thanks

Lots of great ideas - I use some but there's always room for improvement.

Here's a book you might find interesting - American Wasteland by Jonathon Bloom (http://www.amazon.com/American-Wasteland-America-Throws-Nearly/dp/0738213640/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1299715140&sr=8-3) Its very well written and it talks about how much food is wasted and the environmental impact of wasting - quite an eye-opener.

This has been a real predicament for me and my husband. We don't like leftovers. So, I have learned to cook only what we eat at a meal. That has been really hard. I try and cook for one and add 1 extra thing, like a cut up cantaloupe. I don't always get it right but it has certainly stopped all those mystery containers in the back of the fridge from building up. We both don't over eat anymore and feel better and the best part is I don't hardly ever waste any food and my fridge has more room in it now for the fresh veggies we both love.
