 Leftovers got you down? How about converting those leftovers into something new and intriguing? That’s what the Leftover Tuesdays event is all about. This month we’re going to add a twist to our leftover challenge in honor of Valentine’s Day. Make a leftover creation for your sweetheart. What exactly? Well, that’s why we call it a challenge! But, one suggestion, from Joel and Amy over at foodmonkeys is something chocolatey. Ok, now I know chocolate is not something most people think of when they hear the term leftover and I admit I was a skeptic on this theme at first. But then Joel and Amy said “You should see our pantry - neither of us eat a lot of sweets, so we've had to devote an entire shelf to the storage and preservation of confections... because you can't throw chocolate out! Check it out!”. And I did check it out – my own pantry that is – and to my amazement I found a collection of chocolate just waiting to be transformed into something amazing. So, this month for Leftover Tuesdays #12 the challenge is to create something for your sweetheart and if you can use up some leftover Chocolate in the process your creation with be extra sweet! The Challenge Leftover Tuesdays challenges you to transform your leftovers into tasty temptations and tell us all about it! This month the theme is something for your sweetheart. It need not be a sweet leftover creation but if it is, all the better! What do we mean by leftovers? Well, we're pretty liberal with our definition of leftovers. They can be the remnants of a previous meal (either home cooked or bought) but they can also be the unused portions of the various components you've used to create recent (or not so recent) meals. Basically, leftovers are anything in your fridge, pantry or freezer for which you have no intended purpose and need/want to use up! How to submit your entry 1.
