A Potluck for Clearing Out Your Fridge

A Potluck for Clearing Out Your Fridge

When you’re ready to clear out your fridge, you can host a potluck. Never be afraid to make something cool out of the few things that are left over in your fridge. Remember that it is much easier to enjoy cooking if you’re creative and make the right choices so you never have any issues with wasting food.

Potluck Cheese Dip

All that cheese that’s left over in your fridge should go to good use. You never want to have a cheese dip that’s just melted cheese. You can do better than that, and it all starts with your food processor. Dump in all that cheese, pulse it up until you get a nice paste, and season. Oregano, dill, thyme, a little butter, salt, pepper, and other little things can bring your cheese dip to life.

Make sure you pull out all the crackers from the pantry so everyone can enjoy before dinner starts.

Chef Salad

A chef salad that you build from your fridge can have anything you want. Make sure that you go as creative as you can get. You can slice an apple, add some corn you cut right off the cob, chop some tomatoes, slice carrots, celery, and all that lettuce you need to eat.

Leftover bacon from breakfast and some stale bread? You can crumble the bacon in the salad and bake off your stale bread to make croutons.

Charcuterie Board

Bring out all the cold cuts, cheeses, fruits, mustard, and onions. You can pickle the onions in some vinegar, and you can munch on this board for a couple hours while dinner is getting ready.

Potluck Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken pot pie is a beautiful thing to behold, but you can make it out of anything. You can use the leftover rolls in the fridge, lay them across the top, and now you have a crust. Chop the chicken, add some vegetables, and pour in some of that gravy from your dinner a few nights ago.

Now that you have all these options for leftovers, you can grab some custom bags and make the most of your fridge.
