Culinary Recycling

While I've never made a dessert out of leftover jelly donuts, I do believe in using leftovers, though I tend to clean out my refrigerator weekly. Then again, I was raised on food made from scratch, not food made from boxes. The only box my mom really used was the traditional Kraft Macaroni & Cheese box. And not very often.

My leftovers don't go into anything fancy, especially since I don't start out with such high-priced items and am not a fancy cook to begin with. I've never tried making croutons or crackers, but have a recipe for crackers that I need to try. Crackers are expensive and are one item I make a point of buying at Big Lots or the Dollar Store. It makes sense to try making them.
