…Or what I like to call “Whatever You Have in Your Fridge Meal.” Yes, this recipe for Sausage, Egg & Pepper Scramble was conceived from looking at the miscellaneous items I wanted to use up in my refrigerator before they reached their expiration date. The scramble that was born was so good, I turned it into an official recipe…and here it is!
I know it’s easy to keep adding new groceries to your fridge and freezer. There’s a certain excitement to bring in new products and merchandise. Unfortunately, the thrill is quickly gone and before you know it, your freezer is jam packed with use-by dates from 2019. Before your food becomes unidentifiable, make it a weekly practice of rearranging and organizing your refrigerator/freezer. Use up any old items before buying new ones.
Adopt the FIFO policy – first in, first out. Get creative, have fun and see what new recipes you can cook up. Make your kitchen a zero-waste zone, and in doing so, save money and resources in the process.
You can give my recipe for “Sausage, Egg and Pepper Scramble” a try in your own home kitchen. Or look in your fridge and see what exciting meals are just waiting to be invented. Happy Cooking! And as always…live, laugh, love & eat!
