  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins
*Anything! corn, peas, potatoes, meat loaf, carrots, stew, in any combination

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.

I do something very similar but not for baking cakes. I throw leftovers that no one will eat into the food processor. This makes a good base for rice, spaghetti sauce, chicken dishes, gravies really about anything. The leftovers are already seasoned so this saves time and money in the kitchen. Just tonight I used a couple of scoops of a mixture that I made yesterday to make goulash there was nothing left over. What I had used to make my concoction was some leftover pork roast and the vegetables along with other vegetables, some black beans and rice. This also will help to thicken dishes and you can further save money by using less meat. Just a thought, Carla
