Maple Syrup for Your Stale Bread

I always use maple syrup to sweeten, it's not just local but abundantly delicious. I love its rich flavor and lovely color. Since I've been using maple syrup in my kitchen, I can’t remember the last time I used white sugar. It is even fun to see my friends' facial reactions everytime they come getting maple sugar served with their coffee in the mornings! I love maple syrup to finish off a meal at night.

My favorite desserts have always been rich and creamy puddings. And since we always have bread everyday, I don't have to shell out money to buy ingredients for my pudding delights, I always get creamy pudding from leftover breads. I remember the first time I made a pudding swimming in a luscious caramel bath, so mouthwatering! It's perfectly delicious watching it give way to reveal all the deliciousness underneath.

They say bread pudding is an old fashioned dessert that had its humble beginnings in 13th century in England. It was first known as a "poor man's pudding" as it was made from stale leftover bread that was simply moistened in water, to which a little sugar, spices and other ingredients were added.

I tell you, that's exactly how I make my pudding, and with a luscious maple sugar, I can't remember anyone saying no to my pudding, ever. So don't throw away stale bread, they make delightful Pudding. Make your own creamy maple syrup sauce and your entree will finish an incredible meal.

Pork Fried Rice from Leftover Pork Loin

American households throw away almost a thousand dollars worth of food per year and many families cannot afford that waste. Being creative can help give you simple ways to use up leftover food and stretch your dining dollars.

Leftovers usually are not appetizing to your family and kids will less like the sound of it. Maybe, instead of pushing the food at the back of the refrigerator, a little planning to make it look something new to their eyes can help you save and prepare multiple meals from one.

Procedure:

• Chop the pork loin into bite size pieces.
• In a large skillet or wok, stir mixed vegetables ( or any frozen vegetables)
• Add egg and the chopped pork loin.
• Add the leftover rice. If there's not enough left over rice, make a new batch.
• Add a little soy sauce and other seasonings to make pork fried rice.

Now you have a new Pork Fried Rice meal dinner for the whole family!
