At our last barbecue, we hosted a large group. We ate burgers and fresh salads, watermelon and brownies, and trifle for dessert.
It was the simplest menu, but yet so tasty.
I took all the leftover hamburger toppings and put them in Ziploc bags. You know … onions, pickles, lettuce and tomatoes.
The next night we were hosting again, but this time just a small group.
I always delegate the menu, so this time I was making the appetizers and our friends were doing dessert. (We usually make the main dish, except in this situation).
I grabbed the bag of leftover hamburger goods, whipped up some crostini, and made “Leftover Hamburger BBQ Crostini.”
-Tiny bit of mustard
-Cheese
-Tomato
-Pickle
-Tiny slices of onion
So tasty – SAVORY!
And we served these on the other side – SWEET!
Feta, golden raspberry jam; garnished with fresh cherries.
I love using what we have on hand.
And using up the leftovers!
What’s your creative way of reusing what you have on hand for appetizers?










Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this "icon" portrays a great message.
I want to share with you some of my favorite places to visit in blog-land, sites that I learn from and am inspired by, and some beautiful friends that I’ve met over the years.







What a great idea for your burger leftovers. Your photos are gorgeous, Sandy!
