Reinventing leftovers
In our house, we often struggle with eating leftovers. Point blank, no matter how well-intentioned you are, it's downright difficult to get yourself to eat the same thing day after day until it's gone. (Okay, so maybe some things are easier than others to do this with, but I still think you get my drift.)

The joy of the potato
I don't eat a lot of carbohydrates (mostly because gluten makes me bloated and comatose) but I have to say I'm a potato junkie. At least once every two weeks or so, I feel the need to have a potato. Fried potatoes, baked potatoes, twice-baked potatoes, rosemary roasted potatoes, and yes, mashed potatoes. I even will do scalloped or au gratin on occasion.
