I’m full of good ideas.
Or maybe just ideas…
We had leftover spaghetti and bison red sauce from when Vegas cooked the other night. I wasn’t about to eat it like a “normal” person. Surprised?
I decided they’d be great as fritters if I added zucchini noodles and some egg to bind it. A bit strange, but really when is pasta and sauce not good?
It was brilliant until they didn’t bind. I tried adding some cheese, but it was the hard kind not the melty kind. I’m pretty sure it would have worked with mozzarella though.
They weren’t the sturdiest of fritters and I’m out of leftovers to try it again this week… so no real recipe. For the record, leftover spaghetti mixed with egg, zucchini, and some cheese before warming in the skillet tastes good whether it binds together or not.

If you want an actual #strangebutgood recipe, check out these Blood Orange Avocado Scones. I’m making them today for breakfast this weekend!
When was your last kitchen fail?
Does it count as a fail if it still tastes good?
That doesn’t sound strange at all, it just sounds 1903829288 % delicious!!!!
WHAT ON EARTH WILL WE BE MAKING WHEN WE MAKE A VIDEO?!?!?
OMG when you are making a video? Can i come watch live? and laura, these sound FAB! not strange. just plain awesome
Um OF COURSE you can Lindsay!
Hahaha! I think we should ALL do one!
OH YES!!!!
Lindsay and I will fly in together for any video making!!!
Promise???
If it tastes good, that’s all that matters. Pasta sauce on just about anything is bound to be good…except cereal- now that would be strange and far from good!
HA! I think you’re right about the cereal.
Some of my favorite things to eat look horrible. As long as it tastes good!
In my books that totally counts as a real recipe! The real cook does only need two things: creativity and a sense for what tastes good and what not. You’ve definitely been blessed with both!
And I am very tempted to try the scones! If only I can find some bloody blood oranges 😛
You and I on the same wavelength with the fritters this week. It doesn’t matter how it looks as long as it tastes good!
Like a pizza back, but portable. love it.
I love the way you think!
Making something delish out of leftovers, always a win, never a fail!
In fact my fav recipe creations often happen to be those made from leftovers!
Spaghetti fritters? I can dig it.
I agree with Gigi – doesn’t sound strange at all, just delicious!!
I’m with Gigi – these sound good to me. And a video of you guys cooking together? Now that’ll be pure awesome fun!
We’re so close now… it may only be a matter of time…
i’d still count them as a win! sounds delish!
I tried to make fritters a couple of weeks ago with leftover taco ingredients. They didn’t stick together well enough but they tasted good sooo I guess that’s sort of a win? haha
I am starving right now and that dish looks so tasty….
You can’t put fritters on your blog and expect me not to fall in love lol. I am so in love with this dish. Yup, I’m hungry lol.

You are such a goose. I’d eat them. I found squeezing the eff out of the veggies helped bind things…or just cheese. Lots of cheese. Okay, a damn block.
I should have squeezed. Dammit.
Mmmmm….bison sauce. 🙂
Things I never thought I’d hear you say… 😉
Yum bison sauce sounds delicioussss!! xo C
I’m working on fritters tonight. Crap, I may have just jinxed myself by reading this. Dammit, I am no longer allowed to take blog reading breaks while cooking. Just kidding, mine will bind…..I hope.
Doesn’t matter what they look like, i bet they tasted amazing!
that actually sounds and looks mega delicious, i am a fan of fritters because of the endless amount of stuff you can make them with. there are pretty much no rules, well except for whatever it takes to keep them from not turning into rocks or on the other extreme, soup. i’ll make fritters out of anything! the other day i had leftover shaved brussel sprout salad, mixed that up with some oats and egg, added curry to make it really weird. blended it up so i could make pancakes. talk about weird as balls, but delicious. not like balls. lol.
last night, i took some leftover mole sauce (as in the mexican kind, not animal… lol) and spread it on a corn tortilla, topped it colby cheese and smoked gouda, topped it with another tortilla, then fried it in butter: cheesy, smoked mole quesadilla. with green salsa. now THAT was weird, but my hubby loved it. honestly i couldn’t handle much of it, too rich, but he loved it so that’s all that matters. i was happy with my curried sprouts 😀
That doesn’t sound weird – it sounds amazing (which probably means it actually is weird – LOL!). The brussels thing and the mole both. I was JUST saying how I am craving mole. Now it’s happening for sure!
