It was clean out the refrigerator day at the Russo house last week. Exciting isn’t it. Since the holiday season is here, I need all the extra space I can get. Cleaning the refrigerator is something I hate to do. Just ask my mom, because I hate it so much I usually recruit her to help me. She’s known as Mrs. Clean in these parts of the woods.  But, as we all know, it is one of those chores that just has to be done.

After all the procrastinating is over and I finally dig into the refrigerator cleaning project which I love so much (insert sarcasm here), I usually brainstorm about what I can make with all the ingredients staring me in the face that I need to use ASAP or they will go bad.
