This isn't the first time I'm written about my love affair with leftovers. In my house, we always have food leftover from dinner; often, Mr. Cafe Kim and I will use it to make sandwiches for lunch the next day.

Can I tell you a secret? I actually prefer food on the second day—the flavors are so much more intense! Here are some of our favorite meals-turned-into-sandwiches:

Happy One Pot Wednesday!

Last night Mr. Cafe Kim made me one pot Pork and Pepper Goulash from one of my favorite cookbooks, Jamie At Home, by Jamie Oliver. This comforting stew was a definite mood-lifter after my long, dreary day of cold and rain. I'm all too happy to share the recipe with you...

I love cranberries, but I know lots of people—particularly kids—can't handle the sourness. Still, with the right amount of sugar, I think this tart 'n' tasty fruit has potential to be more than a tired Thanksgiving side or a forgotten muffin. Check out the New York Times article about the underrated cranberry; then read on for an easy cranberry sauce recipe guaranteed to sweeten up your Thanksgiving spread. (None of that canned stuff allowed!)

Just when you thought I couldn't possibly come up with another pumpkin recipe...

Thanks to CM.Ult.Cookbook for sharing her Pumpkin Pie Milkshake recipe with us. Pumpkin ice cream and whipped cream? I fear I will be unable to restrain myself...

Happy One Pot Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a one pot recipe that we make often in our house: Tortilla Soup! The original recipe is from Epicurious.com, but I like to add a few handfuls of frozen corn during the cooking process, as well as top with sliced avocado and shredded cheese. It's got tons of flavor without being too spicy. Serve with a salad and you're good to go. Enjoy!

I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year. It will be the first time I cook dinner with all the fixings for a big crowd. *Gulp.* I've got the turkey under control. But the one food that's stressing me out? The stuffing!

Help!

My stomach is growling for these Pizza Bites (from For the Love of Cooking)—pillowy balls of pizza dough filled with cheese and pepperoni with a side of pizza sauce. Yum!
