I didn't find time for last month's Cook Once, Eat Twice recipe challenge, oddly enough we made what I was planning one evening a little later. I was thinking leftover baked potatoes as a type of one-pot hash or a scramble, which my husband made one night since it's such a quick meal to throw together. Since I now have a five month old on my hands, things that are quick or make leftovers are still key. I was also working on a few recipes for an upcoming young athlete demo when I came up with this one.I get my chance to blog and create in the kitchen once the little one goes to bed at night, since I don't want to miss out on spending any time with her!
Our April challenge/theme was Spring cleaning: Go through your pantry, cupboards, freezer, or fridge; what
‘treasures’ have you found? Pick an ingredient/spice/condiment that’s
been hanging out for a while and give it the attention it needs. Share a
healthy recipe made using your new-found pantry prize.
I came across dry mustard which I rarely use, I'm not even sure what
recipe I would have originally bought it for. The prep is fairly minimal
and if you prep a lot of veggies while making this, then you're set for
your busy week - for pastas, salads, stirfries, etc. It's also a great
recipe for satisfying differing tastes as you can make a variety of
combinations.
