Do you ever have do-over night? We have leftovers night at least once a week. Usually Sunday night after the evening church service. I just take all the leftovers from the week, put them on the counter with some plates, throw out some raw fruits and vegetables and dinner is served. The kids enjoy it because it is less structured than our usual meals, and they get to pick and choose what they want. within reason. My only request is that they take at least one meat and at least one fruit or vegetable. But they get to pick. An all time favorite for a vegetable is raw carrots and peanut butter. But do-overs are different. We have become fond of grilled london broil. I marinate it for a few days, then grill and serve. We always have about 1/4 to 1/2 left over. Sometimes we eat it on leftover night, sometimes not, To keep it from going to waste i freeze it. It later gets sliced, added to other frozen meats, add some peppers, onions, celery, liquid seasoning of some sort, and voila, stir fried do-overs. Its always different because my marinades and seasonings always change. I have no recipe. I really just toss it in the pot and start throwing stuff in there. To dress up last nights do-overs I surprised Jon with one of his favorites .DIRT PUDDING.When we were dating we worked at Walmart and Fred from sporting goods brought this in, and we fell in love with it. His wife graciously gave us the recipe, and now its as much of a holiday tradition for us as pumpkin pie is for most families. Ive never done a calorie count on it, but its gotta be WAY up there. Whats your favorite dessert? Do ever have do-over night?

Sounds delish. And yeah, we have do-over nights when we can. We haven't done it like the way you mentioned in a long time because the leftovers usually never make it past Justin these days, if you know what I mean. Ha!

You have just hit my weakness chocolate! That sounds good!!!! Put some gummy worms in it and you have a small garden without the flowers. :)
Hi Susan, from another Susan! I came over from Kristi's blog to welcome you to the blog world. I'm originally from the Carolinas, but the Lord has moved us to Canada as missionaries. So if you heard me talk, you'd feel right at home, I'm sure! ;) You'll love blogging!
Welcome to our world! You seem to be acclimating just fine! I can't wait to try this dirt pudding with my 10 year old son!
Thanks Tiffany. I've been known to stick in in a flowerpot(new), stick a big 'ol sunflower in and put the worms around it.Makes a great edible center-piece, although I havew a nephew who wouldn't eat it for years, he was convinced it was real 'dirt'. Thanks for stopping in.
Well, Hi Susan.Nice to meet you.Thanks for stopping by. About the Accent? I'm originally from Fl. so I probably sound more Canadian then N. Carolinian:) No one I knew in Fl was actually FROM Fl except for my family!Everyone was from 'up-north'.
Pam, I hope your son enjoys it. Mine sure do. I've also tried it with chocolate pudding, and its good also, just my kids prefer the vanilla.Thanks for the welcome.
